    People who have painted vents

    What type of paint did you use? Did you clear coat? Did it leave a paint smell after you put it back in?

    I ask this because I painted mine silver with dupicolor paint and clear coat and whenever I turn on the heat I get a paint smell. Anyone know why?

    It needs to dry out, get a hairdrier and let it sit there for like 30 minutes and then it will dry completely out [img]smile.gif[/img]

      Well.... they've been in the car for about 3 weeks now. Shouldn't they be dried out by then?

        I painted mine with that metal cast stuff the anodized spray paint, a few base coats, and a few of the paint coats. It dries really fast. It looks nice too.

            i didn't sand mine, just some primer, 2-3 coats of paint, and 2-3 coats of clearcoat
            then i let them sit for a couple of days on some newspaper in the garage and they turned out fine, no paint smells or anything, and still look great after 6 months [img]smile.gif[/img]

                    I took a small flathead screwdriver and just popped them out really easily. I sanded them, primed, painted, clear coated and have yet to have a problem. Used regular everyday spray paint from strauss too.
