Stained glass paint or if the glass is too marred? KRYLON FUSION spray paint.
Hi! I would spray paint the base ! There are so many cool spray paints out there now, not only color choices , but textured ones as well. Make sure you cover the crystal part and tape off the area next to the base . Put the lamp on a couple of blocks, or an over turned bowl that is a little smaller then the base of the lamp , but make sure the lamp is not wobbly ! That way , you will have a nice finished bottom edge .Good luck !
is it the 'crystal' part you don't like, or the metal 'FOOT/base' to the lamp ... if it's actually the metal base, and the 'works' to the lamp are threaded up thru the crystal part you can get a 'LAMP REPAIR' kit that will give you all the parts you need .
