Expert Advice on Home Improvement

Instead of throwing an outdated ceiling fan away, consider refurbishing it. Here’s how to go about it:

• Remove the blades and metal components from the fan.
• Clean the entire fan thoroughly with denatured alcohol.
• Rub all metal surfaces with fine steel wool to allow the paint to adhere.
• Lay the metal components out on newspaper and spray with several light coats of spray paint.
• Rehang the ceiling fan.
• Reattach the blades to the ceiling fan.
