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!

  • After sifting through numerous comments and experiences shared by others, I found a mix of reactions—some deeply painful and others somewhat amusing. The overarching realization from these accounts is that many individuals still fall victim to scams simply because they fail to read between the lines. I can personally relate to this, as I, too, was once ensnared by a fraudulent scheme.My own experience with scams was a harsh lesson in the importance of due diligence. After losing a substantial amount of money to a fake investment, I was left disillusioned and desperate to recover my funds. It was during this tumultuous period that I found an unlikely ally: a resident hacker who helped me recover a significant portion of my lost assets. While the recovery rate wasn’t perfect—about 70%—it was a substantial improvement over my initial losses and a beacon of hope amid the despair.One of the most crucial takeaways from my experience is the value of expert vetting before making any investment, particularly in the volatile world of cryptocurrency. This is where Cyberpunk Programmers came into play. They have become an indispensable resource for me, offering expert advice and thorough evaluations of potential Bitcoin investments. Their role is crucial: they either give the green light for an investment or warn me against it based on their assessment of its legitimacy.The truth is that identifying a Bitcoin scam often requires specialized knowledge—knowledge that only a seasoned hacker or cybersecurity expert might possess. In the digital age, where scams and fraudulent schemes are increasingly sophisticated, having a reliable hacker on your side can make a significant difference. Just as people rely on family doctors or lawyers for their expertise, it’s becoming increasingly important to have a trustworthy hacker to safeguard your financial interests.The idea might seem unconventional to some, but having a hacker on retainer is akin to having an insurance policy against cyber fraud. These professionals have the skills and tools to detect red flags that may elude the average investor. They can help you navigate the complex landscape of cryptocurrency investments, ensuring that you don’t fall prey to the latest scams or fraudulent schemes. Cyberpunk Programmers has proven to be more than just a recovery service for me; they are a trusted advisor in the realm of digital finance. Their guidance has been invaluable in avoiding risky investments and potential scams. Their expertise provides a level of security and confidence that is crucial when dealing with the often unpredictable world of cryptocurrencies. while the digital world presents numerous opportunities, it also harbors significant risks, especially in areas like Bitcoin investments. The stories of those who have been scammed highlight the importance of vigilance and expert advice. For anyone navigating this complex landscape, I strongly recommend considering a relationship with a trusted hacker or recovery professional. Cyberpunk Programmers, in particular, has been a reliable ally in my journey, providing recovery services.Ultimately, the lesson here is clear: in an age where digital scams are rampant and sophisticated, having a knowledgeable and trustworthy hacker on your team can be as essential as having legal or medical experts. It’s an investment in security and peace of mind that can pay off significantly in the long run. If you find yourself navigating the treacherous waters of digital investments, seeking out a credible recovery professional like Cyberpunk Programmers could be one of the best decisions you make.
