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!

  • A Sandwich Attack Was Used to Wipe Out My Crypto Transaction Of $389,000.

    I was swapping in between my stablecoins when I lost $389,000. I was confused and didn’t know how that could happen, I just lost all my crypto and I’m traumatized.
    A few days later, a tech guy from my firm contacted a crypto recovery expert Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to detect that a malicious bot called MEV detected my transaction and front ran it before my transaction was processed. The bot’s actions made me lose almost 99% of my funds and stole $389,000. Fortunately for me, Morphohack Cyber Service was able to trace this transaction and retrieve it successfully without any delay while applying its sophisticated software and malware techniques. It seems we have to be up to date with market news and stay alert always. Morphohack can be contacted via the following link: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM (Whats App:+12136724092)

  • Boosting my business’s visibility was a top priority, and after searching for solutions online, I came across a seemingly legitimate business listing service that promised to give my business the exposure it needed. The website looked professional, with impressive testimonials and convincing marketing claims. It seemed like the perfect opportunity, so I decided to invest $1,200,000 in the service, believing it would be a game changer for my business. However, shortly after making the payment, everything started to unravel. The business listing service vanished. The website went offline, and all my attempts to reach their customer support went unanswered. I felt completely duped that what seemed like a promising investment had turned out to be a scam, and I was left with nothing. I was devastated. As an entrepreneur, that kind of financial loss was a huge blow, and I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I found ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST . I was initially unsure if there was any chance of recovering my funds, but their reputation for helping people in similar situations gave me hope. The team at Asset Rescue Specialist jumped into action right away. They quickly identified the fraudulent website, recognizing it as part of a broader network of scams targeting unsuspecting business owners like myself. They didn’t waste any time and immediately began working with my payment platform to investigate the situation.
