This one took about 2 hours . Most of it is sanding - first with 220 grit then with 400 grit .The can of paint cost $4.99 and it's still half full . I got a box full of sandpaper at a moving sale a while back for $2.00 .Congrats on the find...How long does it take you to redo a fan, and how much money on supplies Mojjax?
