Grandfather Clock Before&After!

Remember that old grandfather clock that I had you help me choose a color for? Well he's painted and he's regal red! 

I was waffling between hot pink and red because I wanted something bold and totally unexpected. I've always wanted a grandfather clock but would never have the heart to paint a solid wood antique, so when I found this 70's relic in a heavy duty plastic material for $5.00 I totally jumped on it. I settled on red because simply because it's a more fitting color for our parlor. I used a high gloss red and then finished it with a dark wax to give it a little dimension. He's fully operational and has a delicate chime on the hour.

So what do you think? Do you love it, hate it, wish it was hot pink, wish I wouldn't have painted it?
