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!

  • CRYPTOCURRENCY TRACING AND RECOVERY SERVICES CONTACT DIGITAL HACK RECOVERY COMPANY

    Hello, I’m Nancy Lyle from Chicago, and I want to share my experience with a recent scam and how I managed to reclaim my lost funds. My story is a testament to the importance of vigilance in the digital age and the incredible help provided by Digital Hack Recovery. It all started with an investment opportunity that seemed too good to be true. I was approached by a broker trade site promising high returns on Bitcoin investments. The offer was enticing, and after some consideration, I decided to invest a substantial amount of money. Initially, everything seemed to be running smoothly, and my investments appeared to be generating profits. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse. The first red flag came when I was asked to pay additional fees to withdraw my profits. I thought it was a standard procedure, so I paid the requested amount. But then, the fees kept escalating. Each time I tried to withdraw my earnings, I was asked to pay even more. The demands became increasingly frequent, and the fees were absurdly high. Despite my growing concerns, I continued to comply, hoping that the situation would resolve itself. Unfortunately, the more I paid, the more I realized that I was being scammed. The broker kept coming up with new excuses to delay my withdrawals and demand more money. Eventually, it became clear that this was a sophisticated fraud, designed to extort as much money as possible from unsuspecting victims. By the time I realized the extent of the scam, I had lost €1391.04—an amount that I had worked hard to save and invest. Feeling defeated and desperate, I reached out to a friend for help. I explained everything that had happened, including the deceptive tactics used by the broker and my growing frustration over the lost funds. My friend was incredibly supportive and recommended that I seek professional assistance. He introduced me to Digital Hack Recovery, a firm specializing in recovering lost funds from fraudulent schemes. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to take the plunge and work with them. From the very beginning, the team at Digital Hack Recovery demonstrated professionalism and expertise. They listened to my situation, analyzed the details of the scam, and outlined a clear strategy for recovering my lost funds. Their approach was methodical and thorough, giving me confidence that they could help me reclaim my money. To my amazement, within just 72 hours of engaging with Digital Hack Recovery, I received the full amount of €1,391.04 that had been fraudulently taken from me. The speed and efficiency of their service were remarkable. It felt like a miracle to have my funds returned so quickly, and I was overjoyed and relieved. The experience taught me several valuable lessons. First and foremost, it highlighted the importance of being cautious when dealing with online investments. Scammers can be incredibly convincing and sophisticated, making it easy to fall victim to their schemes. Secondly, it underscored the value of seeking professional help when dealing with financial fraud. Digital Hack Recovery’s expertise and dedication made a significant difference in my situation.I want to express my deepest gratitude to Digital Hack Recovery for their support and for giving me back my financial stability. Their work has not only recovered my lost funds but also restored my trust in the possibility of justice in the face of fraud.

I invested about $290,278 on a binary option platform, then I decided to withdraw after several weeks. The withdrawal wasn’t successful, so I tried to contact the platform via email and phone number. I didn’t get a response from them when everything started looking weird. Some weeks later I got a letter from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected and I never heard from them again. That was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at that moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. After some months I came across a lot of testimonies on the web how Ghost Champion Cyber Hack Service Telegram : https://t.me/WizardGhosthacker had helped many people recover their stolen scammed funds or duped money on bitcoin or any other form of digital currency. I contacted them and they promised to help me get my money back and asked me for some info about the scammer which I provided. The result was amazing. I recovered all my stolen money in 48hours. I was so happy as I never believed I could get my money back.
