Got tired of the off white paint and gold paint job of my 1993 SMC U52. So I painted the fan black and removed the gold paint on the brackets. The brass on the brackets looks even better than they were before I painted them. Before:  After:  The only downside of the color change is that I cannot really use the original blades with it since the colors will clash too much. But at least I had a wood grain set lying around to use. |

Looks good, but maybe you could paint the blade brackets black and get a switch cap cover (:

Cole has a U52 motor and housing for sale. You can use the brass parts to match the brackets.  |

I do have some AB arms that came with the blades, but I'm actually considering painting the fan back to white. I really am not too satisfied with how it looks to be honest. It's cool, but I can see why SMC never offered these in black. |

I like it best white with the brass brackets!

That's what it is going to be, I have the fan sprayed back to white now. Sometimes I really need to quit jumping to conclusions. The fan would have been just fine if I just removed the paint from the brackets. Lesson learned.

Is the housing the same shade of white as the blades?
Why not remove the nut where the light kit was?

The blades are a little darker shade, but it still looks good IMO. I would rather see that finial on the bottom instead of just a hole, but that is just me.

Much better, even if the shades don't match exactly.

Off white never matches.. Eggshell white is a bit better..
