I found this picture in an old album and thought this would make a great Project
I have no idea who the picture originally belongs to as its on too many websites to find the original source
plus none of them explain how to do this so I made a tutorial how to do this
this is a cute idea and easy
You need
a Fan
Screwdriver
Paint I recommend Krylon or Rustoleum spray paint any color you wish
Both Krylon and Rustoleum both make many colors including glow in dark spray paints
unscrew the fan guards
Simply paint the face of the blades of your fan (avoid painting the very edges) in the primary colors this summer and you'll have a beautiful rainbow effect while the fan is running then put the Guards back on
For Safety Reasons follow the instructions on the can of spray paint and always spray paint outside never inside.. and follow all safety measures

Neat idea for a kids room!!
For those looking for a bigger challenge or are more visually creative, you could paint patterns and combine colors within each blade. or try glow in dark paint too!!! Once the rainbow fan is turned on, it not only cools the room, but creates a fascinating pinwheel effect. Just make sure the paint is dry before you turn the rainbow fan on, lest you wish to clean paint drops off your face and walls.
Try the same idea for Ceiling Fans
I used stone effect pain on the blades of my kitchen fan, it was a grey with black flecks, and matched my kitchen décor much better than the plain white.
