China Lava Lite base, drilled and painted!

I needed a base for my orange/white 52oz. globe. Paint job came out decent, I think. :) I wish they'd bring back the pinholes (I know, beating a dead horse), but they are such a small detail that really make the lamp stand out.

Comment by Erin on August 6, 2012 at 8:38pm: This paint... was hard to paint with. Even a few hours later, it's still sticky. I accidentally leaned it on something and it smudged. I'm going to make sure it's super dry before I run a globe in it. I didn't care for the paint at all - came out all crappy-ish. I'll go see what kind it is and post back later. I do think it turned out well though and it's going to go great with my 52 oz. orange/white globe (didn't even know there was such a thing until Weebs sold me it). Can't wait to see your Mille Luci in copper!!! That's going to look great.

Comment by wizard of ooze on August 6, 2012 at 8:28pm: Nice color. Seems there's not too many orange lavas out there. I'm doing an orange color lava Mille Luci now with copper metal.

Comment by Autumn on August 6, 2012 at 8:19pm: Fancy.

Comment by Erin on August 6, 2012 at 8:16pm: Yes, just did it today. Tutorial for template and hole drilling can be found here: http://oozinggoo.ning.com/forum/topics/adding-holes-to-china-lava-l...

And thanks for the compliment! Hard to get the paint job perfect, but this was close consider I used spray paint.
