What color floor registers/heating grates for natural oak floor
Comments (9)I just put in an oak floor and had the register problem too. I use magnetic air deflectors, so it was easier to stick with the metal register covers. My oak has a light stain on it called "Butterscotch". It's not quite the same as the natural but it's very close. I sprayed the registers with Rustoleum Ultra Cover 2x in Khaki. I'll try to get a picture for you tomorrow. I think the registers blend into the floor nicely. If the paint does not hold up I'll get the oak covers and glue on something for the magnets to stick to, but I've painted other metal registers in the house and so far they are all holding up fine....See MoreWhat color heat registers for a 1915 bungalow?
Comments (5)Some of the bronze tones spray paints work well and give a metallic finish that looks a bit more "real" to me than the brass toned or gold toned paints. It would look less contrasty than pure black against the white. What color is the raw metal? The other think you could do is get them plated, it isn't always incredibly expensive. If you did that, I would just get brass plating and leave it "raw" to tarnish naturally....See Morewhite wall paint colors; crown moulding color?
