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!

  • I recently had a relationship-testing experience with my wife that almost cost us $520,000 in Bitcoin. I was eager to keep trading because I am an active trader, but my wife was certain that we should quit because she was afraid of the market’s unpredictability. As our disagreements became more intense, she became so irate that she demanded to download the wallet onto her phone and erase it from mine. She had no idea that we had not safely stored the recovery code. Our biggest worry came true when she attempted to reload the wallet on her phone after it was quickly deleted: the coins were no longer available. When we recognised how serious our error had been, panic broke out. Our life savings appeared to be out of reach, hidden away in a digital vault. As we scurried to find a solution, our arguments evolved into cooperation. As we searched the internet for a solution to find help, every second seemed to take an age. At that point, we stumbled upon Wizard James Recovery, an organisation that specialises in recovering cryptocurrency. We thought we would give them a go since we had nothing to lose. Our last option was to get in touch with Wizard James Recovery. The crew patiently guided us through the procedure and was professional and sympathetic. Even though things were bad, they told us there was still a possibility we could get our money back. We gave them all the information they needed and anxiously awaited. Wizard James Recovery fulfilled their promise to us. It is impossible to express how relieved we were to hear that our Bitcoin was secure and would be returned. We couldn’t have been more grateful; it was like a miracle.We learnt a number of important things from this event. First off, it’s impossible to overestimate the value of unity and open communication, particularly while making financial decisions. Secondly, it’s imperative to safeguard and create a backup copy of digital wallet recovery codes. In conclusion, we discovered the importance of getting expert aid when required; sometimes, owning up to our need for support is the most courageous thing we can do. My wife and I became closer as a result of this struggle. It served as a reminder of our partnership’s strength and the value of cooperating to overcome obstacles. What ultimately turned out to be a crippling loss was actually a potent lesson in collaboration, trust, and the value of specialised knowledge.Contact them via email at: WIZARDJAMESRECOVERY@USA.COM

  • I was still in college when I met my fiancé. We dated for quite a long time and cohabited and our relationship was approved by our parents. We got along and everything was perfect. He traveled out for some training and since then everything never became good for us again. He was seeing a lady over there and he tends to have committed much to what they shared and left me out the picture. I did all I can to fix the problem but nothing worked until I heard about Dr Isikolo. I contacted him and explained what I was going through and he promised to help which he did as promised. I complied with the instructions he gave me and he fixed the problem I had with my fiancé and now he’s back to me and we are getting married in a month. All thanks to Dr Isikolo. Contact him now if you need any help. review his webpage (https://isikolo-temple.com) or text him on WhatsApp him on +2348133261196
