Yea, I posted this to one of the Facebook group a week ago. What a bodge. Given they have diffuser brackets, I wonder if they painted those too?

Probably! It just looks awful and has no doubt gummed up the lamp holders too. Basically fit for the skip now.

Yup. He'll be lucky to sell those

Yep, would have had much better chances of selling them if they had just been left alone!

Nice of them to spare some paint for the starters too
