To Paint, or Not To Paint....

Hey everyone, I know this is going to freak some of you out....so I apologize in advance. I have this vintage chandelier I picked up on Ebay for under $100 many years ago. I can't even remember the exact price, I just know that I never went over $100.

I have the glass cylinders...somewhere, but one of the glass cups (the bottom piece) is gone.

It's a yellow Tole Chandelier. Here are two very similar one's on 1st Dibs.

This one is a rectangular shape and it's $1,650.

This one is square and it's $3,800.

Someone go get this one!!

Back to my story, you know where this is headed.....should I paint it? White & gold....maybe?

source?

Black?

Navy & gold?

I know that some of you will have strong opinions about this and I could have kept it off my blog....
but I really want to know what you think. You have never given me bad advice!
Tell me...what should I do?
