Title: 1994 U300 interior bathroom and bedroom mirror lights upgrade
Post by: mraycal on September 07, 2018, 03:02:20 pm
Here is some pictures of some of my led lighting upgrade. Bathroom sink upgrade and added lights in the shower. Changed 1/2 of the makeup mirror lights. It shows the old one and the new one side by side (3 bulb light is old).

Looks good and every watt is important. I would sure like to get rid of the gold on the shower. Any ideas. I like the black look David has on his.

Great idea. Making a larger oven now so the long pieces will fit in.

Thanks!

I've replaced most of the lights with LED strips, cut to length. The three bulbs over the bathroom sink, though, are still there. Those lights in the first picture look like just the thing. Where did you get them?

I was looking at an easy way to change some picture frame colors on my boat.  Found that Rust-Oleum has some excellent spray paints that replicate popular electrical and plumbing fixtures colors.  Look on their website or at any decent hardware/box store.

What did it cost to powder coat all of the shower stall parts?  More important, how many hours did it take to take it apart and reassemble it?

We had a glass outfit make us and entire new shower stall, remove the old one, install the new one, all new glass for just over $700.  It has a bigger door than the original one as a bonus.

1 1/2 hr to remove approx... probably less... Figure 2 hrs to  put back together minimal.. take lots of pics..

Powder was free...I have a powder department but could see it running more than $150 for powder for all the pieces.. they are small.

Roger, It took me about 2 hours to take the shower apart another hour to get all the silicone out and clean the glass. I cleaned the parts with alcohol then started painting with the krylon paint. Used 3 cans so far on everything gold but ordered 2 more. Not sure yet on weather its the right thing to do as it scratched easily but the paint wasn't fully cured yet. Raining cats and dogs now so haven't been able to finish yet. Found rusted screws on the upright  rails and 1 broke getting it out due to rusted screws. Time will tell if this was worth it or just a waste of time.
