Dee on Nov 01, 2014You can but if it is not evenly sprayed, when you put the light on it looks horrible.it is hard to evenly sprau or paint with rush. You could buy black rope and wind around shade.Helpful Reply

SK on Elderberry on Nov 02, 2014I have painted many lampshades with some great results and some not so great. I found if I primed them first and painted the inside a metallic color and the outside a matt spray with a couple of coats they turn out rather well. skHelpful Reply

Morgan on Nov 02, 2014Worth a try if you're changing decor. Depending on the frame, you could possibly recover it with different fabric.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Nov 02, 2014I'd prime first. Zinzer 1-2-3 has primer in spray form. Did an awning that had stains, and then a fabric paint. So far so good.Helpful Reply

Joline Cosman on Nov 03, 2014I have not tried this, but you might look into Rit Dye and a large bucket..... Just a thought. I have 2 matching lamps, that I want pink shades on. I am planning to dye them. A cover (similar to a little skirt, is also a great idea ! You can pop it over the shade, and remove it for either a different look, or a good spring cleaning ! Good luck !Helpful Reply
