- Remove the fan blades with a screw driver. (assuming you want them a different color)
- Clean all the parts really well!
- Protect the areas that you don’t want painted with masking tape and newspaper. I masked off the ceiling and the electrical light sockets.
- Open up a window to provide good ventilation.
- Spray paint the motor assembly of the fan and the screws one color. (2 coats)
- Spray paint the fan blades another color. (2 coats)
- Let the paint dry.
- Remove masking tape and paper.
- Reassemble the fan blades to the motor mount.
- Turn on the fan.
- Step back and WOW yourself and your family!!!
Do you remember this girlish fan that hangs in my youngest son’s bedroom?
It’s white…it’s plain….it’s B.O.R.I.N.G!!!
Well…..not anymore……
{sorry for the awful photos. I had a dickens of a time photographing it}
I simply removed the fan blades and spray painted!
Here’s how I did it:
{cause you know you want to do this too}
One last thing about the paint…..
Red paint ~ Krylon Fusion (Wal-mart)
Silver paint~ I used a combination of these two spray paints. The Valspar (Lowes) was the first coat because it has a deep dark under tone. The Rust-Oleum (Wal-mart) was used as the top coat because it has a light shimmering quality. Almost to the point of being glitter-like. I like the way the two paints worked together to give it dimension.
I just can’t get over how well this turned out. Again I’m sorry the photos aren’t doing it justice. This is a project that I had been thinking about for awhile and now I couldn’t be more excited about the way it turned out :D
Linking to these Party’s:
