Can you spray paint wooden blinds.

The spray paint can should say how long that will take but it s usually a couple hours. The shellac spray primer will bind to bare wood or wood finished with both oil and water based coatings. Use what you have on hand. Attach blinds to window brackets.

The spray paint also made the strings stiff so that does affect the how easily the blinds raises and lowers. Test out your ideas on a scrap piece of wood or cardboard. Use a flathead screwdriver to carefully remove the pegs and set them aside. In the next picture the left side has 2 coats and the right side only one.

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. Use light coats of spray paint to cover the entire slat. You just need to hang the blinds in a way to be able to open and close the blinds. And then spray until the brown is gone.
