Baseplate material/color script not working?

I made a script so that when the game loads, it changed the baseplate color to White and the material to neon, but it doesn't seem to be working right. Heres my script:

base = game.Workspace.Baseplate

base.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Medium stone grey")

base = Enum.Material.Neon

print("Baseplate Manager Loaded")

base = Enum.Material.Neon

You assigned the material to the 'base' variable instead of the part's material property. What you probably meant to do was this:

base.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
