DIY Black Window Casing With Spray Paint

Sometimes it feels like I have a never ending list of house projects going on. And while I'm not afraid of a serious DIY project, sometimes it's nice to do something simple and fast but gives big results. Spray painting window casings does just that! I recently added board and batten in my son's room and painted everything white. The walls and windows all seemed to blend together so in order to make something pop, I spray painted his window casings black. Super simple and really the only part that took the longest was taping everything off. 

Supplies Needed:

Krylon Color Maxx Primer (Gray)

Rust-oleum Satin Paint and Primer In One (I used Black) 

Painters Tape

Plastic Drop Cloths - (I used 5)

Mask

Goggles 

Fan

Hair Net - (You do not want spray paint in your hair!)

 

I started by taping off around each window, leaving the casing exposed. Then I went back in and taped the glass. I used blue painters tape and it took about a roll and a half for the entire wall. After the windows are taped, I put one plastic dropcloth down on the floor and then taped another one to the wall, one between each window, and another above the window to create a tent. I covered the larger areas with the plastic but used the tape for the detail work. It was a bit tedious but I took my time with the detail work to make sure the lines were straight so I didn't end up with paint in places I didn't want. 

The grilles are the pieces that run up and across the middle of the window (to create a grid effect) The grilles on these windows are in between the glass - so there was not an actual piece of the grille that was on top to paint like the surrounding outside pieces. I still wanted these to be black and have the same look, so I taped the glass and followed the outline of the grille. I then just spray painted the actual window so it looks like the grille is painted too. It's really just the glass that is painted but you can't even tell unless you looked really really close. You can see in the picture below how I taped it off. 



Once everything was covered, I first used Krylon Color Maxx Primer in Gray, adding 2 coats and waiting about 15 minutes between coats. Then I used Rust-oleum Paint and Primer In One, in the color Black. I sprayed two coats of the black waiting 15 minutes between coats. I let the paint dry for another 15 minutes before removing the tape. I want the paint to still be a bit tacky when I pull it which prevents the paint from peeling. 

 

There you have it! Super simple DIY that makes a big impact!

  • Good work speaks for itself. Not sayingthis just to seem relevant neither is it a paid advertisement or review. But everyonewho has had their funds or crypto stolen can listen, attest, and affirm that, that’sthe most depressing thing ever. Your mind keeps bullying you on how you saw thesigns and indications of how that investment was just a scheme but went aheadto make the deposit or give out your details. Before I met DECODE HACKERS, the saviorof my 3 BITCOINS fraudulent loss, I had run into a sunken spirit. Life seemedlike a huge game at the moment. Shortly after trying them out, they sent me avideo of how they had tapped into the account holding my BTC. In an account inBerlin. It was a quick operation from there to ensure the BTC was not withdrawnor transferred by the fraudsters. My cryptos were back and that came as a hugerelief to my engraved mind. I do believe now that all hope is not lost andthere exists trustworthy and credible hackers out here. All the best as youseek help too.

  • Investing in cryptocurrency is a good idea. At the start of my cryptocurrency journey, I invested in a faux trading company who took over 90,000 Dogecoin and 2 BTC from me. It was a hell of a time for me, I was in urgent need for a recovery expert to get my funds and Century Hackers Recovery came to my rescue. He was useful from the point of contact to the end when he retrieved my funds from the bogus company and placed me on a genuine trading platform where I earned lot of profits. I’ll urge you to use the services of Century Hackers if you are in a similar situation which I was at that time. Send a mail today Via century@cyberservices.com

  • I was initially drawn to the investment scheme due to the promises of high returns and the assurance of a secure investment. However, as time went on, I began to realize that the investment was nothing but a scam. I lost access to my investment and was left feeling helpless and frustrated. It was a painful experience, and I felt like I had no options left. After some research online, I came across several crypto recovery services and read reviews and testimonials from previous clients. It was essential to find a reputable and trustworthy service to help me recover my investment. After careful consideration, I decided to contact Schwartz Software Hackers Services, who had excellent reviews and testimonials.telegram (https://t.me/schwartzsoftwarehackers) I was impressed by their professionalism and responsiveness, and they explained the recovery process in detail, which gave me hope. After a successful recovery I promised to give a review of their wonderful job. I highly Recommend Schwartz Software Hackers Services to all scam victims seeking help to get back their lost Crypto.

  • The fact that it is nearly hard to recover a stolen or lost cryptocurrency coin hurts more than anything else when someone loses their cryptocurrency, which may be a sad event. All that crosses a person’s mind when they are defrauded of their money when investing on a cryptocurrency platform is how to report the company and recover their losses. After contacting their bank, wallet account provider, law enforcement, or other parties, the majority of scam victims never receive their money back. A small number of them even hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit against the company. Kindly advise everyone to use caution when making financial investments. In addition to making many wealthy, cryptocurrency has left a great number of people bankrupt and in need. I was recommended to Wizard James Recovery a few weeks ago, and with their help, I was able to recover every USDT currency that had been stolen. Wizard James Recovery is a dependable and trustworthy company to consider if you want to recover your lost or stolen cryptocurrency. Also, you can get in touch with them via wizardjamesrecovery@ usa .com. My best wishes are with you. They rank among the top recovery businesses worldwide.
