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 fell victim to a highly sophisticated crypto phishing scam that completely drained my Bitcoin wallet. The experience was devastating I had invested years of savings, and in just a few moments, everything was gone. At first, I thought there was no hope of recovery, especially since most people warned me that crypto losses were irreversible. But then I discovered Astraweb, and reaching out to them was the best decision I made. From the first consultation, they were professional, transparent, and clear about the recovery process. Their team used advanced blockchain forensic tools to track the movement of my stolen funds across multiple anonymous wallets and mixing services. To my surprise, Astraweb managed to trace and recover a significant portion of my lost Bitcoin within days. They kept me updated at every stage, provided me with evidence of progress, and handled my case with absolute confidentiality. Thanks to Astraweb, I recovered what I had assumed was lost forever. If you’ve been scammed or had your crypto stolen, I strongly recommend contacting them their expertise is unmatched in the recovery space.

  • The offer sounded too good to be true, but I ignored my doubts after seeing the high-yield crypto trading platform and observing the market myself. In hindsight, that should have raised red flags. However, like many crypto investors, I was drawn into investing in digital assets, believing it was a huge opportunity for me. Unfortunately, this led to me becoming just another victim of a sophisticated crypto scam, in which I lost $312,000 in USDT (Tether). It was a devastating financial blow that threatened both my stability and peace of mind. If not for the intervention of a little-known cyber forensics firm, Morphohack Cyber Service, I would have lost everything. They helped me reverse the damage and reclaim control of my crypto assets.

    I highly recommend the services of Morphohack. You can contact them via email (Morphohack@cyberservices . com). This team of blockchain experts and cybersecurity professionals was able to detect the scam, trace where my crypto was sent, and initiate a full recovery process.
    It wasn’t a simple fix, it was a full-blown counteroffensive that lasted 72 hours. Within just three days, Morphohack had located the primary wallets used in the scam and coordinated a comprehensive recovery of my digital assets.
    To anyone who might find themselves in the same situation I was in: don’t panic, and don’t suffer in silence. Seek help and act quickly. You can reach out to Morphohack at the email address above. Crypto recovery is real, if you move fast.

  • The pervasive spread of misleading and fraudulent information on media platforms has caused immeasurable financial harm. While the media promoted a crypto Ponzi scheme, I, like many others, was deceived into believing it was a legitimate investment opportunity. The platform, backed by fabricated success stories and glowing testimonials, made it seem like a surefire way to earn quick returns. As the media buzz continued to build, I invested a substantial amount, only to discover that the entire operation was a well-orchestrated scam.Falling victim to this crypto Ponzi scheme resulted in a devastating loss of 98,000 USDT, leaving me financially ruined. Desperate to recover my funds, I turned to various so-called experts, hiring four different hackers. Unfortunately, none of them delivered any meaningful results. Each failed attempt deepened my sense of betrayal and frustration, making it hard to accept that I had been deceived.

  • We simply need to exercise caution. I spent $423,020 on Bitcoin from a purported cryptocurrency business that I found online. Two months later, my initial investment had grown to about $620,020. The fact that the investment increased quickly in just two months gave me a great feeling. It wasn’t until my request was rejected and my attempts to withdraw were unsuccessful that I understood I had been defrauded. I’m grateful to Wizard James for helping me get my money back.
