Argh! Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hello again! I'm painting windows for my Celerity 2nd empire victorian but I'm not happy with how they're turning out. I want the outside to be black and the inside to be white but i can't figure out how to do that bc some areas, like the sill, run together. I mixed black acrylic with a lot of water to paint the outside and it looks so dull. I've looked online for hours for a tutorial to no avail. Tips pls? I'd love to post a pic but ig my pics are too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argh! Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 I tried to use our house windows as a guide but they're all white. Also, the bare wood on the insides bugs me. I had no idea this would be so hard!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Paint it white first. Apply painters tape to the sections you want to keep white. Use a satin or semigloss black spray paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Try paint pens. They are not water cleanable like acrylics, so tape off like Sable suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
