That is not an ugly lamp, it’s a cool lamp! Yup I would paint the outside part of the shade hunter green, the white inner part of the shade would been painted with white primer, followed by a good coat of glow in the dark paint followed by a coat of clear coat. Base of lamp hunter green & the stem would be black! Then would be an awesome lamp to use every day! 👍👍

I once worked for an automotive paint company and as a service weof course mixed automotive paints. We also had the ability to fill spray cans with that paint. I took it upon myself to add catalyst to those cans for special customers who understood they had to use the cans immediately or they would harden inside the can. It worked great. You might want to investigate this for your future projects

Great job. (How to polish a turd: Wrap in oven-proof silicon to retain shape, leaving a small vent. Gently heat over a period of days until dry. Inject through vent plastic based clear adhesive and allow to set. After a sufficient length of drying time, release from mould, sand and polish. Display in suitable position or place in loft).
