Can u spray paint wooden blinds.

I used two trestles and some leftover wood. Spray each slat with the shellac spray primer until the slat is coated evenly. Choose a particular type of primer depending on the condition of the blinds. Hold the spray can about 12 inches above the stencil and spray paint bamboo lightly making sure you cover the entire design.

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. Step 4 add full color if you want to paint bamboo with a single color on the whole bamboo blind remove the weights you put on the blinds earlier. The shellac spray primer will bind to bare wood or wood finished with both oil and water based coatings. Otherwise feel free to use a plastic primer along with a standard spray paint.

A latex spray primer is sufficient for bare wood blinds. Do this by lifting up the bottom rail and finding the wood or plastic pegs along the bottom. Gently lift off the stencil and allow the paint to dry. Use what you have on hand.

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. Attach blinds to window brackets. Shake the spray can for a minute or two. I let it dried a bit before closing the blinds and spraypainting again.

The spray paint also made the strings stiff so that does affect the how easily the blinds raises and lowers. It s a little time consuming to get all the slats back in the notches and facing the same way. Laying the blinds down on the table make it easier because there s less tension on the strings. In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.

A painted finish will not stick to your wood blinds unless they are pretreated with a primer base coat. The spray paint can should say how long that will take but it s usually a couple hours. No primer is required for some plastic spray paints. And then spray until the brown is gone.
