Refurbished Electric Fan Project with Copper Paint
I decided to repaint the electric wall fan (grills) in my room a few months ago to give it a bit of character and I think it turned out well. I kept the black plastic rim as it is and painted the grills a copper color. Forgot to take photos while I was doing the project though. This is an easy project you could do in one afternoon. Just make sure you've cleaned the grills well and free of dirt, dust and grime. It's preferable to do it outdoors, away from doors & windows, and pets and use a mask to avoid inhaling the paint mist & vapor. Materials: 1 can gray primer spray paint 2 cans copper spray paint (you could probably use only 1, but I ended up using 2 for a separate project) 1 can clear acrylic gloss spray paint The only downside to copper grills is that the dust becomes more noticeable compared to when they were black (when I could go on 6 months or more not cleaning the fan haha).
