Is the grill metal or plastic...I am wondering whether or not it can be painted.

It is plastic. We were disappointed by the product as the suction power is not very strong. I would go up the next level.

the grill is plastic, but you can paint it...I would just use a good shellac base primer first so the paint will stick well, and make sure not to plug the holes with paint...this unit really moves some air and you CAN NOT HEAR IT hardly at all unless you listen for it....Best fan I have ever seen or owned!!! I can fee the air getting sucked from under the bath door, where I have about a half an inch of space between the tile floor and bottom of the door.

Plastic. My ceiling is white and it looks great without the paint. If you did paint it, you have to be careful to make sure the paint doesn't block the vents (that would compromise the fan). Note: the fan is very good -- I installed it myself & kept my existing 3" diameter duct pipes instead of replacing them with 4" diameter one (the fan has a 4" diameter duct).. The result is that I don't get the optimum low noise ... Still very low.

The grill is grated, not solid surface. Wonderful grill. No problems, works over campfire very well.

I believe it is wood and wood composite, not a plastic veneer. The finish on mine is very smooth and well done. I believe it could be painted easily, particularly with a high quality paint like Behr all in one paint that includes a primer. I have no plans to paint mine, but if I did I would not even use 000 steel wool to rough the surface- I'd just remove the knobs and do it.

The side shelves/panels are made out of Steel NOT plastic. Even the cover for the burner (left side) of grill is made out of steel.

Pretty sure it is not plastic, but I don't know what it is. I would think any spray paint would coner it.

Yes, they are paintable. As with any grills that claim to be paintable spray paint is the best option and offers the most consistent results.

No it is plastic. It has worked great for my application. No problem with having to repaint it as was the case with the wooded one it replaced.

The door has stainless steel paint finish and I think it is plastic. This unit is made for indoor use but could probably be used outdoor if protected from the weather. Extreme heat damaged a smaller unit I had - warped the insides when it was turned off and ambient temp. was 112ºF.

Mine are metal, plastic on the top of the whip only. I have no problem with paint. Have had it for a while and use it 3 to 5 time a week. I feel it was worth the money.

The top and bottom copper bits are indeed painted metal. The central clear portion is plastic, a little over 1/16" thick. It's actually pretty sturdy - I've had it over a year through a good Northeastern winter and it's still good as new.

It is definitely not painted. It might be brass plated but it actually look more like cadmium. Anyway, the thing works as advertised. I had to shim the terminal with a piece of brass sheet, however, as my negative clamp was too big for it.

the instructions mentioned to rub it down with oil, I used cooking oil and got some black oxide (iron rust) while wiping it. I don't remember seeing any paint- it was bare metal. It has not scaled or corroded with this oil treatment, which is performing better than the OEM supplied by the original grill manuacturer.

I haven't tried to paint the legs. You might try Krylon paint made for plastic . Remember seeing it at Wal Mart.

The plastic cover is paintable. I primed the cover and painted it to match my stucco wall.

Its plastic. it doesn't chip because its not painted. its flat black with a texture. If you needed it painted, you would have to sand that texture off. Its pretty much a base model silverado grill.
