Linda Barrett Dirksen on Dec 14, 2015As Janet asked what are the blinds made of....PVC? Vinyl? Fabric? You can paint almost anything...just need the correct paint for the material! You can do it!Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Dec 15, 2015Catherine, you may need to go to the store and find the same kind of blind and get the kind of material it is before you start. Then buy the paint needed for that particular material!Helpful Reply

LD on Dec 15, 2015Here's another option than painting, why not cover it with fabric. Here's a link for you: http://jacquelynnesteves.com/featured/fabric-covered-window-shade-tutorial/Helpful Reply

Lynn Paige on Dec 15, 2015Here's what I did. I hung the blinds from plant hooks on my patio roof. Sprayed with cleaner, scrubbed a bit, rinsed with hose and let dry. With drop cloths on ground, I then sprayed with Rustoleum, off white, satin finish, spray paint. Cords and all. They turned out perfect, have been up 3 years and still look great.Helpful Reply

Sheila D on Dec 23, 2015Since it is a blackout you could probably only have to paint front side. Or.. maybe spray adhesive fabric to front.??Helpful Reply

Sheila D on Dec 25, 2015Not sure about the paint,maybe some of the other craters will know. As for the adhesive, when spraying, a pair of $1 store cotten beauty gloves keep hands clean & avaI for smoothing fabric. Let us know what works.Helpful Reply
