Spray paint wood blinds.

It was my first spray paint job and it went beautifully. If you ever decide to change the color of your blinds you may choose to paint them saving you the cost of buying new blinds. The weather tends to be against me each time i try to spray paint. I started the blinds and then melissa painted 9 yes 9 of them for me.

The spray paint also made the strings stiff so that does affect the how easily the blinds raises and lowers. Do this by lifting up the bottom rail and finding the wood or plastic pegs along the bottom. But not today. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully remove the pegs and set them aside.

You don t want paint on the strings or to spend hours trying to paint around them so the real trick in painting blinds is to take the slats off the strings. I used two trestles and some leftover wood.

We tried cream spray paint to see if that would go quicker but came back to this chalktype paint process because we liked it the best. You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds. Painting your blinds will also add personality to the room. When deciding to spray paint what you have instead of buying new you need to calculate the cost of supplies and your time as to whether that outweighs the expense of new blinds.

Faux wood blinds add an element of elegance to any room in your house. The shellac spray primer will bind to bare wood or wood finished with both oil and water based coatings. This is not a complicated tutorial. Thanks to you i got the courage to spray paint one side of the blinds white.

I d imagine it s the same level of difficulty as spray painting just about anything.
