Joya D'amato-Devico on Jun 24, 2016I agree with Janet. Paint the wall first then attach the black trellis. A nice effect would be to place mirror behind the trellis. I've seen it done in a garden.Helpful Reply

Alan on Jun 25, 2016Janet is spot on take the trellis off the wall , make sure you wash the Trellis well, as they hold debris/dirt in the hollows, water pressure washing is best, then importantly treat any Rust with a good quality rust converter, because if you don't it will be back disfiguring your new paint within a year, I have seen the mirror trick before too, but it needs to be in a situation where it is easy to take off and clean, otherwise they get filthy and look terrible.Helpful Reply
