Can the blades be painted a different color? I'd rather they be light gray to match the stainless steel look of the fan...

This particular model comes with blades that are black on one side and a very light natural wood color on the other side. It's up to you which color you prefer and will install pointing down. The same fan is also made in other colors, e.g. all white.

Technically I guess anything can be painted, but painting them would be tricky in terms of weight and balance. The blades are semi glossy so I suspect you would need to degloss then spray paint would probably be best but I don't know how that would affect balance. Maybe you could ask the manufacturer if they have different color blades.

Yes, I would just lightly sand each one with a 180 grit sandpaper . And then paint light gray. :0)

Blades are same color as the fan that bronze color. Fan is very quiet, with awesome air flow. Hope this helps you out :0)

I think its sold as red or blue also. You could replace all the fans but it would be costly. The big fan on the side would be the most expensive.

I have this fan and it looks black to me. I have not read the comments that state it is another color but mine is definitely black.

I don't know but stainless steel is a lot harder than the metal used to form furnace ducts. I would worry it might damage the blades.

Are the blades really red? What color is the rest of the fan...black or chrome?

The answer on each part is no, and no, The "legs" are molded into the plastic so the angle is set, you could shim the short set with something to bring it up.As for the blue lights they are in the blades it would take some doing to get rid of the blue lights but its not that bad I use it for cooling my streaming laptop.

The blades are plastic, but definitely not glossy, or at least not any glossier than wood appears. From below (which is how I view my ceiling fan), they look like wood. I'm very happy with this fan. It's close to the ceiling, quiet, and moves the air very efficiently.

Could you make one with a lighter color that doesn't get as hot in the sun? Light gray, green, light brown (tan), off-white, etc.

No! You have to pay separately for the blades- which is very bizarre. Get it from Lamps plus. They have it on sale right now for $199 WITH the blades! I mean....how can something be called a ceiling fan when the part that makes it a fan are missing!

The entire product is white. A bright pretty non-harsh white. The blades are not a painted over 'wood' looking blade. They are uniformly white. Yes, there is a dimmer available for purchase. Several companies make dimmers that are compatible with this product. Our daughter needed a dimmer for the item as it was going into a nursery. We found a mountable wall unit with an egg shaped controller that dimmed the lights, and set speed of fan. I hope this helps you and answers your question. P. Olsoncitrus heights Ca.

I don't know... but a thin layer of dust has proven to slow or stop the fan from working. We need to keep it very clean for efficient use. Also, the higher the temperature differential between the base and blades the better so painted black might reduce efficiency... just my thoughts tho...

Don't know about the weight. The electrician who installed it, had no problem. There was a plain outdoor light fixture there, and he was able to use all of the existing boxes and wires to install the fan. The blades look fine to me, but that can be subjective I suppose.The porch is brown, the ceiling is brown, the fan is brownish. To me it looks just great!!!!!jc

No. They are composite wood painted white and very well balanced. My fan is totally silent.

The blades are not black. There are two "choices" of wood- a slight cherry color and walnut color depending on which side you face down. Also, no remote.

Yes, you could, but I think there are much better products for that purpose. You can buy a tool designed specifically to clean ceiling fan blades at Lowe's or Home Depot.

No for the simple fact that the blades are made of press wood....it will start to sag in a few months because of moisture and humidity....I would recomend a fan with metal blades plus I think by NEC code you have to use a fan with metal blades outdoor
