I just did this week on accident. I was trying to spray paint the frame around the screen and some of the paint got on the screen.

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Yes it is possible,however what type are they?

MN Mom · Answer

Sure you can! Is this to stop rusting?

Larry Chura · Answer

Yes you can, but why? It's so easy to replace the screen if it's rusty or torn. If you have your heart set on painting the screens, spray in a horizontal pattern with light applications of paint. Spray too heavy and the paint will clog the holes in the screen or run down the screen.

Kathleen · Answer

Absolutely. My husband over sprayed white paint while painting the house, so I just sprayed the whole screen black. I would think you could also brush on paint if you laid it down- maybe thin the paint a bit so you don't end up blocking the holes.

Barbara Valenti · Answer

I think if you do a very fine mist it would work. If you spray too much too thick the holes will look clogged up. I know other people do it so why not. Just don't use thick paint. Light coats should work. Please let us know the outcome. I would love to see them. Good luck!

I have nylon type screen, some color has worn off in 20 yrs, would like to freshen them up, they're still in good shape, hate to replace them, think I'll try taping off the frame and lightly spraying the screen.

Peggy Armstrong · Answer

I just bought a house built in 1979. Arizona. Most all homes here have the metal sun screens on them. Mine are green ...yuck. still in great shape. So rather than spend ungodly amounts of money to replace them, i am going to tape off frames and spray paint the screens in black. All newer homes use the black. Since my house is grey wirh black yrim, this should look great and give me 10 years or more. Im using rustoleum prime and paint. Cost me about $20 in all.

How do you keep the screens from getting clogged up?

Douglas Schroeder · Answer

I'm old enough to remember always repainting screens. They actually sold product which was just a thinned out black paint. Today might try applying with a fine bristle stain pad.
