paint it black
We’re big fans of Rustoleum paint –the finish is great and it’s so darn cheap. So much so, I’m always on the lookout for stuff to spray. At the weekend, I bought a six-pack (not that kind), rounded-up the latest candidates, and got to work.
You might recognize these bullet lights –I previously sprayed them gray. As we’re painting the exterior gray, we figured they might be too ‘matchy’. Black should make for a better contrast. This pair will throw some light on our back yard, eventually.
In the center, a collar for another wall-mounted globe (like this one) we’re installing by our patio. On the right, two former office bins. These were old and scratched-up (no ‘before’ pic, sorry) so we’ve reinvented them as planters. Now, what else can I spray?

They do have black paint for high temperatures, for example gas flues.

Thanks John! We’re familiar with the stuff –we used some for the inside of our fireplace: http://fogmodern.com/fireplace-paint/

This is a great idea with the lamps and color…you lucked out getting these…hard to find! 🙂

Thanks! Yes, we did get lucky. Our neighbor actually had a couple more sets but we only got two. Looking back, I wish we’d got more. And you’ll be pleased to know these are still black…though we did paint them gray initially!
