Upgrade Your Old Ceiling Fan

Step 7: Reconnect blades to connectors, and connectors to motor

Wait overnight for everything to dry and then put the fan blades and connectors back together -- reverse what you did in steps 3 and 2. Be careful when handling the connectors because the paint can scratch off pretty easily. Not really a problem later since you will probably never touch the connectors, or if you do it will be with a soft cloth when cleaning.

My fans have two rows of screw holes so that I can choose to use four blades (inner row of holes) or five blades (outer row of holes). I went with four to minimize the fan even more. With the nice white paint you can hardly see the fan when it's on.
