I HATE when some people paint the luminaire with house paint! Last oldie I'm bringing back! Lol.

Agreed. I have a old Eagle traffic signal that was repainted with brush on house paint. Eventually I'm going to use some paint stripper to strip it down and give it a nice new paint job.

I got some gel stripper at the hardware store that worked pretty well when I repainted some visors from a different traffic signal this summer.
