Kitchen Island light fixture re-do

Meet my new best friend: Oil rubbed bronze spray paint.

Light fixture before:


Light fixture AFTER meeting my trusty friend. It looks kinda black in the pictures, but it has a nice metallic shine. It goes perfect with our new cabinet hardware. Cost was about $6.

Wow, JJ - that looks great! I am also a fan of the spraypaint. I have never used it on a light fixture. I have often bought cheap frames at the dollar store or something and spraypainted them to look much nicer! I'm very impressed with your home improvement skilz. You should have a show on HGTV. I would watch it for sure!

The cabinets are GORGEOUS! Isn't it amazing what a little paint can do? Wonderful transformation! I totally want to do that with our ghetto light fixture but I don't know how to unwire/dewire it and put it back. Please enlighten me how you did that.
