thought i would post up a couple pics of the light i just finished for my island. bought this a couple of yrs back from tom buckles & finally got around to fixing it & changing the color to green so it matches my other lights. i bench mixed the color, but shot a run out card to get a formula scanned at the paint store for later use.
