Re: How to paint wooden venetian blinds?

Hi @Serendipity,

 

Before painting wooden Venetian blinds, make sure they are thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, grease, and any build-up. Once clean, you can give them a light sand with fine-grit sandpaper to help the paint adhere better and to smooth out any rough spots. For the paint, a standard spray paint will work fine. If you are going for a lighter colour, like white, be aware that any existing timber stain could bleed through. To prevent this, it is a good idea to apply a spray undercoat before the topcoat. The undercoat will provide a uniform base, help the paint stick, and ensure a smooth, even finish. Take your time with each coat, allowing it to dry properly for the best results. 

 

Bear in mind that there are quite a few budget-friendly Venetian blinds on offer. So by the time you purchase the spray paint and go to the effort of cleaning nd repainting, it might be worth considering replacement.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Let me tag @sandy_d who has shared some fantastic venetian blind upcycle projects with us to see if she can contribute to the discussion.

How many spray cans would I need  for a blind 145x100 size

Re: How to paint wooden venetian blinds?

It really depends on how heavily you apply the paint, @Serendipity. Three cans should be more than enough, but it might be worth picking up a fourth, which you can return if you don't need.
