I live in Florida, so our vents are at the ceiling. However, this makeover would work just as well if you have vents on the floor or baseboard.
I had some oil rubbed bronze spray paint left over from the Extreme Soap Dispenser Makeover so I used what I had. At first I thought it was going to be too "shiny-metallic" for what I wanted, but in the end I decided that I liked it. I may experiment with some other oil rubbed bronze spray paints in other rooms when this can runs out.
This project was so easy. I just wiped down the vent to prepare for spraying. The paint that I used says it's primer and paint in one so there was no need for any primer. I gave it two coats of paint, approximately an hour apart. And here you have it.
I hadn't replaced the screws yet when I took the picture, which is why you can see the screw holes--sorry!
I think this small update makes a huge difference in our living area. It was so simple and inexpensive.
