Paint on fans?

Any tips on painting the blades on my fans. Im looking for somthing to do

How about letting the paint dry before turning it back on?

Seriously, you should pay attention to how thick your paint coat is, as it will affect balance.

What are you trying to accomplish with the paint other than something to do?

I still use a clear trash can liner to work on parts that fly away...
specially with the badger badger badger shrooms...

Jonny, what do they call that, when you can't remember stuff, again?

You should also use a scotchbrite pad to scuff the surface so the paint will stick well. You can also use a adhesion promoter like bulldog, you can get it from the auto parts store.

I went back and read the old thread but still couldn't find the damn Badger!!
