Spray Paint Wood Blinds

Use what you have on hand.

Spray paint wood blinds.

Now the room is silver gray and i d like to paint them white. I want our bamboo blinds to be a natural color but the building rules only allow white or cream window treatment. Painting your blinds will also add personality to the room. I have 30 year old wooden blinds that are still in very good shape.

Here are some tips to make the job easier and more efficient. You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds. I used two trestles and some leftover wood. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully remove the pegs and set them aside.

Faux wood blinds add an element of elegance to any room in your house. I d imagine it s the same level of difficulty as spray painting just about anything. Do this by lifting up the bottom rail and finding the wood or plastic pegs along the bottom. 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.

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. 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. Allow the slats to dry for the recommended period of time stated on the primer canister. This is not a complicated tutorial.

Then we tried to do a few laying down. The spray paint also made the strings stiff so that does affect the how easily the blinds raises and lowers. Thanks to you i got the courage to spray paint one side of the blinds white. We did a few hanging up because we thought it would be so much easier.

They looked good when the room had a rustic theme. It was my first spray paint job and it went beautifully. But not today. And then spray until the brown is gone.

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.
