The paint is messy, but that won't matter when I turn it on. :D Right?

Looks good..! But it's not full speed. This is barely spinning yet.

At the lowest speed setting. At least I tried.

*looks at my fan* Be right back...

I couldn't find the original post, or even the repost from a couple days ago, but here it is. I said I'd try it, and I did. :c

Worth a shot...

I think it would work better with non transperrant paint

This is acrylic, two/three coats. One more coat won't do anything, lol

Tip: Paint each blade each color in concentric rings from the hub (Go fan hub, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, blade edge) (1/?)

This will allow the image of the color to be more easily seen due to the strobe effect.

Damn you science.

It would be perfect if there was a speed setting that was one lower. :) Or when it's not as new. Or if I stick a fork in the motor.

The mixing of the colors gives white. Maybe "stripe" the other way. Red in center, orange next from center, etc.

That would just give white too. I know everything together makes white, I just wasn't counting on my fan being so fast

No it wouldn't, but okay, dear.

Would you seriously like me to try it? While it's going this fast no color will show up.

I think he means doing horizontal stripes on the blades instead of each blade being one color.

Change your name to clarificationAldrin.. That would probably work. The way I read it, it was staggering stripes from blade to blade
