Can i paint my ceiling fan blades.

I ve found that kilz brand or bin 1 2 3 are both good for helping paint adhere to smooth and shiny surfaces like these. But i did not sand the brass. Fan blades can be given a quick makeover by painting them yourself. As you can see i removed only the blades and i covered the bulb sockets with tape.

I went with four to minimize the fan even more. With the nice white paint you can hardly see the fan when it s on. To begin painting your ceiling fan turn the power off at the circuit breaker and follow the steps below. If you choose to paint your blades i really recommend a good primer just to make sure the paint holds up well and doesn t blister or peel off.

10 easy steps to painting a ceiling fan. You can remove the fan from the ceiling and take it outside to spray paint or you can do what i did. My fans have two rows of screw holes so that i can choose to use four blades inner row of holes or five blades outer row of holes. Of course now i recommend taking the fan down and outside to spray the parts and then reinstall.

I left the main part of the fan in place and just removed the blades. Neutral colors such as ivory taupe and gray work well with many home decors and furniture. Seldom considered important the appearance of a ceiling fan blade can significantly affect the appearance of your interior. But to my delight it was only the ceiling fan blades and whatever it is you call them that the blades hook to the fan with.

Man ceiling fan blades can get nasty along the edges can t they. Whether you want a fan that blends into your ceiling for more visual space a sparkly new color to jazz it up or you just want to take it out of the 1970s a newly painted ceiling fan can look expensive and brand new in the matter of an afternoon for just a few bucks and a few dusty fingers. I then taped up the electrical parts and i taped some newspaper to the ceiling. I didn t make it perfect since i knew i will painting the ceiling anyway.

Although contemporary ceiling fans use durable metallic finish paints the painted surface is often worn off with repeated usage. I cleaned the brass well on both the fan and the vents. But it s really up high and it has a 4 foot long brass stem that extends down from the ceiling. Would love to paint my bright brass mid 90 s ceiling fan.
