Can you spray paint ceiling fan blades.

Apply multiple coats until you ve achieved the coverage you want. Allow the blades and hardware to air dry thoroughly. Assembling painted fan blades. Clear primer is sprayed over the fan blades make sure to wear a face mask for this step.

Spray one to two coats of kilz primer onto the fan parts. Spray the fan blades and hardware pieces with a thin even coat of primer. Take the metal arms and the bottom plate outside to spray paint. Clean the fan blades arms and the brass bottom cover well with a damp rag and some multi purpose spray cleaner if necessary.

Shake the spray can thoroughly before use. But i did not sand the brass. Lay them on a tarp or drop cloth. I would use a primer first if you are going from dark blades to white.

After the primer coat then use satin or semi gloss on the blades. Let the primer dry. You should re assemble the fan unit only when the fan blades have completely dried. When the blade s top side is almost dry turn it over to paint the underside.

Of course now i recommend taking the fan down and outside to spray the parts and then reinstall. Painting the ceiling blades.
