How would I spray paint vertical blinds that go across patio sliding doors to match the new colors in a bedroom? Would this work and look good?

    that sounds a great project - I’ve never done it but sounds like it would work. The key thing to remember with spray paint is thin layers built up to avoid drips (spoken from experience!)

    I think laying the pieces out on tarp and using a roller and acrylic fabric paint would be much easier. Info. from one site.....acrylic fabric paint is the best choice for painting your garments or other textiles. Acrylic based textile paint can be brushed on, sprayed on, as well as in paint markers.

    Hi Sandi, Whether vinyl or fabric, vertical blinds can be transformed with a coat of paint. Specialty paints designed to adhere to the specific type of surface, such as fabric paints for fabric or spray paint for plastic provide the best coverage and longest lasting color
