Thanks :) I have painted in some shadows and here is a quick picture. Since doing this I have made a very thin grout mixture mixed with a thinned glue and painted a third layer with this over the black to soften it all up a bit. I'll post a picture of this bit tomorrow when it's dry. (hopefully it will look good and the black paint comes through enough - we will see because the more it is drying the more visible the black is again). :)

Haha!! I actually wouldn't mind doing some for others but I'd certainly have to invest in some tarps to lay on the floor to prevent any more grout on the tiles :D. I'm already planning my next enclosure. Here are some updated pictures of the last grout coat dried. :)

Thanks!! I'll definitely have to check it out when you do - I have read through your thread a couple of times and stolen a few ideas! It is the thread that finally motivated me to get on started after all!

Haven't updated for a couple of days because I had it drying outside to rid the smell of the sealant and a big gust of wind came, it fell down and smashed!! :( So after a couple more coats of grout, sealant and some paint - if fixed it and finished it as best as I could. All that's left is for it to finish drying and for the smell from sealant and paint to leave it. When I have put it in the enclosure I'll post another picture. :)

P.S my dad and neighbor built the enclosure around the glass which is from a shower that I found at the tip top shop for $15.
