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!

  • Crypto Currency’s has been the general direction of the economic development which individuals like to save up with instead of banks. I lost my bitcoin to fake blockchain impostors on Facebook when they contacted me as blockchain official support and I fell for their mischievous act. Whatever information I gave them, made them gain access into my blockchain wallet and made away with my $955,000. I lost it and almost in a comma because this were all my savings waiting for bitcoin rate to improve. I wrote directly to the specialist whom I was referred to by my sister-in-law ( century (at) cyberservices.com ) explaining my loss. He helped me recover my crypto in just after 8hours and he as well helped me launch the recovery program all thanks to his expertise. I believe that someone out there will need his great services that is why I am referring him to someone. Reach out to Century Hackers to recover you lost funds from any form online.

  • USDT RECOVERY EXPERT REVIEWS DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION

    It’s great to hear that you’ve found a way to recover your Bitcoin and achieve financial stability, but I urge you to be cautious with services like DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION Recovery." While it can be tempting to turn to these companies when you’re desperate to recover lost funds, many such services are scams, designed to exploit those in vulnerable situations.

To protect your assets, use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and consider using cold wallets (offline storage) for long-term storage. If you do seek professional help, make sure the company is reputable and has positive, verifiable reviews from trusted sources.

    While it’s good that you found a solution, it’s also important to be aware of potential scams targeting cryptocurrency users.
