Default (OT) Factory Correct??
So my wife and I were painting our son's bedroom today...
I'm working on one wall.... kind of spacing out.... and I get close to a vent... wondering how to paint it... so I ask my wife, "Honey, do I paint this vent body color or leave it natural?" :rolleyes:

She's like.... WTF, just paint it the same color as the wall- the trim will be white. What are you trying to say? :lol: MJ

Check the tag on the bedroom door. It'll give you the factory color codes. :lolg: :lolg:

Be sure to put a little vaseline on the switch handle so the paint will come off the chrome... :rofl:
