There are a few different ways that you can affordably give your windows a grid treatment. The frames of your old door and windows are painted, now it’s time to build the grid. And you guys, there is nothing as satisfying as removing painter’s tape to see a perfectly straight line ! It makes me so happy. Removing the tape at this point helps to make sure the paint doesn’t pull up. Once your paint is half-way dry, remove your tape. Plus, using spray paint is a thinner application so it won’t peel off the PVC as easily. With this project, what we are looking for is a sleek smooth finish that seems like it’s always been there. You may be thinking, “Angela, why not roll the frame with paint I already have?” If you were to roll your frame, there would be texture from your knapp roller once the paint dries. This will prevent paint from bleeding under the tape and it will give you a perfectly straight line! Just make sure you peel your tape off when the paint is half-way dry so that the paint doesn’t lift.įor painting windows, I like using Rustoleum’s satin black paint/primer spray paint. PAINTING HACK: Once your area has been taped off, use a small bit of paintable caulk on the tape line to secure the seal. It’s perfect for projects like this because you don’t have to mess with attaching the tarp to the tape, they already come together! Once everything is taped, it’s time for my all-time favorite painting hack. Now that the frame is prepped, it’s time to tape your frame and the area around it. This gives your paint something to stick to when we start painting. Then, once the frame is cleaned, scuff it up with your 220 grit sandpaper. Start by cleaning the frame with your favorite all-purpose cleaner. If modern black windows speak to you too, here’s what you’ll need to get the look in your home:įirst off, you will need to prep the frame around your old doors or window. I’ve actually painted 50+ windows black because they give a perfectly modern vibe that just speaks to me.

If you have been hanging out with me for a while, you know that I love how black windows look. I had a vision so I decided to make a drastic change and alter my view with some epic black windows. It’s truly the best part of DIY, creating things for your own personality. I totally understood the concerns about blocking the light and the view, but in the end, I had to stay true to myself. You guys almost broke Instagram polls when I asked for opinions about adding window pane grids to my sliding glass door.
