Appliance spray paint floor/ceiling registers

[Daria B.]

...so has anyone done this to save money? It’s a rental.

The original 25 year old brown registers are rusted and some may be worn that would likely need replacing. I’m looking at those that are just rusted and still work.

Has anyone just spray painted with an appliance spray after sanding or chipping away any loose pieces?

I want to go with white since flooring color is changing.

I priced these and they are $7.48 per register. I did not look at paint cost but it might be that the 15 I need to buy would be more cost efficient.

Just wondering if anyone has painted them.
