So my sister in law bought these shelves for my wife. Looked like they were pretty cool from the picture on the box. They were supposed to be bronze. We opened the box, and quickly found a manuacturing fail. They were painted silver with a poor attempt at a shadow painted in with black. So, I decided to fix that with some krylon and the airbrush. No before pictures, but the outcome is MUCH better. Let me know what you think.

Quite nice. I can envision what they looked like before.

Wow, I wouldn't have known they were repainted had you not mentioned it. They looked like what I had imagined by the title, well aside from shape. Great job!

Finally got a chance to finish this trio up the other night. I painted a picture frame to match the shelves. In the first two, you can see the bronze paint before the black went down. I didn't airbrush the frame though. Would have taken forever. I used a paint brush and dabbed the paint on, then wiped off the excess with a paper towel.
