Are you looking for an easy way to paint a ceiling fan without removing it? You’re in the right place!
In this blog, I’m going to show you how to paint your ceiling fan with minimal effort and without taking it down. Let me show you an easy way to paint your ceiling fan without removing it.
Why Choose To Repaint Your Ceiling Fan?
Let’s face it: replacing a ceiling fan can be costly and time-consuming. But what if I told you that there was a quick and easy way to paint your ceiling fan without removing it?
Not only does painting your ceiling fan save money, but it also allows you to unleash your creativity, ensuring the fan complements your room’s aesthetic perfectly.
Our goal is to transform this ceiling with a beautiful whitewash. But the black ceiling fans are going to stick out like a sore thumb. Not to mention, hiring an electrician to remove them and then reinstall them would be an unnecessary expense and extra hassle.
So to save time and money we decided to paint them while they were still hanging on the ceiling. Genius, right?
Step-by-Step Guide to Paint a Ceiling Fan Without Removing It
- Prep Your Workspace: Before you start spraying tape plastic to the ceiling about 2-3 feet out from the ceiling fan, this will keep the over-sprayed paint from getting on the ceiling.
- Clean Wipe down the blades with a damp cloth to remove dust and allow them to dry completely.
- Prime Apply 2- thin coats of spray primer to the blades. Allow the primer to dry as recommended on the can, usually about 20 minutes.
- Paint Once the primer is dry, it’s time to bring in color. Spray your chosen paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. We used High Heat Rust-oleum spray paint. Be patient; multiple light coats will yield a smoother finish than one heavy coat.
Note: Remove the blades if possible. It will be easier to paint them. In this case, the blade where not detachable.
Amazed at how a simple coat of paint can totally refresh your fan’s look!
There you have it—an easy, cost-effective way to paint your ceiling fan without the fuss of removing it.
