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 WANT A CRYPTO EXPERT TO HELP ME GET BACK MY BTC FROM SCAMMER

    After the sudden and unexpected passing of my father, my family and I were faced with not only the grief of losing him but also the daunting task of managing his financial affairs. While sorting through his documents, we discovered that he had invested a considerable amount of money in Bitcoin—$500,000, to be exact. It was a shocking revelation, as none of us were aware of this investment. Unfortunately, my father hadn’t shared the details of his Bitcoin wallet with anyone, and we were left at a complete loss, unsure of how to access the funds.The realization that such a significant sum was essentially locked away was overwhelming. The emotional roller coaster that followed was intense. Grief for my father was compounded by the anxiety and stress of potentially losing his hard-earned investment. My family was depending on these funds to secure our future, and the thought of them being out of reach added a new layer of despair to our already challenging situation.In our desperation, we reached out to a friend who had some experience in cryptocurrency. They recommended Web Bailiff Contractor, speaking highly of their ability to recover lost or inaccessible Bitcoin wallets.

  • How I Recovered My Money: My Experience with NetGuard Network

    My husband and I decided to invest $500 in what seemed like a promising opportunity we found online. Initially, our investment grew by about 20%, which encouraged us to gradually increase our stake to $12,000 over time. However, when we tried to withdraw our profits, we were blindsided by a demand for a 30% upfront commission. Unable to meet this unexpected requirement, we felt stuck and didn’t know where to turn.

    Thankfully, a friend recommended that we seek professional help from NetGuard Network Asset Recovery Team. Desperate, we reached out to them and provided all the details of our situation. The team at NetGuard Network was incredibly supportive and professional. They carefully reviewed our case and, to our immense relief, managed to recover our initial investment and a portion of the profits within a few weeks. In total, we got back $10,000, which was a huge relief during such a stressful time.

    NetGuard Network’s assistance was invaluable, and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without their help. For anyone facing a similar situation, I can’t stress enough how important it is to seek expert assistance. NetGuard Network Asset Recovery Team made a huge difference for us.
