A few days ago I taught a class on painting furniture in Idaho for some ladies in the ward that I grew up in. We had a great time. I am going to try to post a few of the things that I mentioned in the class on my blog in the next couple days.
I saw this today on a pin that someone shared on Facebook. I mentioned this in my class.
I actually did this in our rental house about 3 years ago. The vents in the house were dirty and rusty. I soaked them in some warm soapy water and scrubbed all the dirt (or as much as I could get to) off. Then I took them in my garage and painted the vents.
First I laid down some newspaper on the garage floor. I opened the vents and sprayed the bottom of the vents first. After that was dry, I flipped over the vent and sprayed the top.
I gave the top a couple coats of spray paint, following the instructions on the can.
I also did this on my vents in my current home. They didn't turn out as well, our home was built in the 90's and the vent covers were shiney gold. I should have roughed them up a little with some sand paper first.
I don't know where this photo came from, I snapped a screen shot of it with my phone. If this photo is yours I would love to give you credit, just let me know!
Thanks for stopping by! Give this quick project, it's a fun way to make those nasty dirty vent covers look like new.
