In the days of the Apollo flights to the moon, computers were very limited. One thing the computers were able to do was to compute the percentage of time the spacecraft was on target. Turns out the ship was on target 7% of the time, that's right only 7% of the time! What this means is 93% of the time it was off target!
What we can gleen from this is this: We can be off target 93% of the time and still reach our goal, IF certain qualities are in place.
First; know your target
Second, continually assess and reassess your progress against a quantifiable benchmark
Third; Make adjustments as necessary
If you repeat #2 and #3 chances are pretty good you will reach your target. If we landed a man on the moon being on target only 7% of the time you can pretty much do anything you set your sights on, if you follow the lead of Apollo.

This process of action, assessment, and adjustment is how we came to the array of proprietary finishes we apply to our vintage fixtures. There were literally hundreds (if not a thousand) of trials and tests to arrive at finishes we apply with the color, depth and sheen needed for vintage fixtures to look absolutely appropriate.
