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!

  • Being naturally skeptical, I never thought that money lost to con artists and their Ponzi schemes could really be found and recovered. I cried out to the Capitally organization to stick to our original conditions and give me my money back, but they refused. They like to claim that I have to pay a fee each time I try to withdraw my money, but I believe it’s just a ruse to keep me from getting the money they want by telling me new lies and taking advantage of my desperation until they wear me out. Things moved quickly as soon as I involved WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. Compared to what I experienced when I attempted to handle the Capitalix group on my own, it was like night and day. Engage the experts; the risk is worthwhile. These are the greatest dudes ever. It is impossible for you to fight fraudulent investment cases like this because of our lack of expertise in this field. Even if you are correct, if you refuse to pay, they will hang your assets and destroy your financial future. Furthermore, nobody is interested in “why” it was ruined—they only want to hear your tale and then point the finger at you for making an effort to change your life. What then do you do? The irony is in the fact that you continue to provide money to the scammers even if you don’t agree with the accusations in order for them to release your money—you never get compensated, you just end up ruining yourself further. After battling this problem for over a year, I finally told myself the truth—that I had been duped—and reported my case to WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY in hopes that they would step in and assist me in regaining possession of my belongings before it was too late. My money moved from being pending to being available in my Coinbase wallet in less than 72 hours after the recovery process was started and quickly completed. Total turnaround. Wizard James rectified in 72 hours what took me a year of work and still had no resolution. I’ve been beating myself up for not asking for assistance sooner, but I just didn’t think it was possible. However they did. Reach out to them today on any of their available support channels to get help,

  • WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY is deserving of recognition for his skilful and effective job. It took him barely three days to return my bitcoin to me. A week ago, I mistakenly lost almost $145,600 worth of bitcoin. When I woke up, I had no idea how the money had vanished from my bitcoin wallet. I was on the edge of losing it, so I tried reaching out to a lot of organisations to ask for assistance with this critical situation, but to no avail. I did research and found a tonne of positive reviews for WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. Even though I wasn’t sure, I went with my instinct and decided to contact them. It was resolved in less than three days, though. The WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY organisation is a legend in this game. Speak with them using: Make contact with them using:
