In the western world no one has used more of this paint than me...you will be fine if don't make the mistake of using the "Universal" formula which is meant for plastics..buy an extra can or two..it is very useful...cheapest at Walmart. I've done desks, chairs, mirrors, lamps and two refrigerators...good luck

Absolutely! I repainted a step stool, which gets kicked around quite a bit, and it still looks great! I reccommed it!

This will work fine Diane. I once said that you can paint over dirt and get a nice finish with this material and it's true. Your trick is going to be using two coats as the first covers and the xecond gives the 'hammered look. Make sure the first coat is dry before adding the second and you need no luck at all; just about 40 minutes.Very Best.

My lamp is older, and I had to screw it in. It looks great. Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/Ia5wmYX.jpg

It's off white as opposed to bright white, and has attractive linen thread striations. I'd say it would work best on a lamp 18 to 24 inches tall.

At the time I purchased mine, there was no mention about floor lamps. Anyway, since I had already received the adapter and decided not to return it, I had nothing to lose by taking a sharp knife and cut off some plastic around the pin until it would fit. It worked. Do not cut off more than required for the pin may loosen up.

I've been using the Can-Gun with cans of Plasti-Dip, which have a larger spray tip than your average spray paint can (the tip is slightly wider than my index finger, whereas most spray cans have tips so small it starts to hurt the tip of your finger). I think the Can-Gun will work for the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch can just fine.

Yes. Just make sure that you do not polish the metal. Wrie brush it or a coarse sand paper to take off the surface rust. You will need 2 coats. Pour the first one down and it will appear dull. The second coat will look the color you need. Make sure to wear the gloves and to put something down where you will be painting. This paint will leave it's mark. Good luck.

The lamp kit works well, I have made 4 lamps so far. You will need the threaded rod that goes through the center of the top of the lamp. This kit just screws on to that threaded rod in the center of the lamp. I used two different size drills. A 1/4 inch drill that is silver soldered to a 24 inch 1/4 steel rod that goes through the entire lamp starting at the top. You will be lucky if it comes out in the center of the bottom of the lamp. I then used a router with a 1/4 bit that I cut a grove 1/4 inch deep from this center hole to the edge for the wire. The 3/8 drill 5 inches long ( same diameter as the threaded rod) to screw the threaded rod into that I cut 4 1/2 inches long in the top to connect the lamp and shade into. I did not use a threaded rod in the bottom. Use felt glued to the bottom to help hold the wire in and prevent scratches on furniture.

take off the plastic ring that prevents the metal from touching the side- you need to unscrew the two parts of the light to remove the plastic ring. hope that helps

Hello there!As a fellow poster M. Baird said, using your finger you firmly tap the silver base. NOT too hard, but firmly tap it. These lamps have 3 light settings which get brighter each time you tap the silver metal base of the lamp. I ordered this 2-lamp set, but one of the lamps was defective, so I had to send them back. But they were what I wanted. I will probably order them again at some point. These lamps give off great light. Better than I expected.Good Luck. I think you'll really love these small lamps which give off GREAT light!

I think it just fits on the metal frame with a screw at the top to hold it in place, just like most lamps do. I returned it because of the bright shiny color. It looked cheap to me especially for the price. I found one much prettier and cheaper at Home Depot.

I have not done this, but it should work for two lamps just as well as one.

I didn't have that problem with my lamp. It was identical to the old one. But if I was running into that problem I would try to get those screws out from the old one. If that doesn't work try lowes to find same threaded thickness screws and rig it up. I'm curious as to why the old lamp has different screws if it is infact the same model.

The maximum useable opening for the metal clamp for this lamp is slightly over 2 inches, so it is theoretically possible it might work. Be sure you are purchasing the metal clamp made for this product, not the plastic version.

No. This will make a non-touch lamp into a touch lamp. The lamp has to have metal on it to work.

It is worth a try--I thought the same thing but it works---just check the wiring from the old lamp to make sure they are; four wires, black white red, yellow and that the size is compatable, good luck Tom P

Hi Irene, thanks for the question. This lampshade widens out from the top-->down and should be fine with your double light fixture. The only thing we'd recommend is not to use heavy wattage, or even LEDs because they might burn the shade from overheating. We hope this helps. If you need anything else Irene, please reach out to one of our awesome experts! Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

When I first replaced the lamp, it took me a few times to get the lamp locked into place. Once it's in place, it should work fine. I also needed to clean off the dust from the inside of the connectors with a rag. Hope that helps
