i think it would be cool if you painted the walls light aqua and then made swish marks to look like ocean waves, in sea foam green, silver, white, nave, blue, and turquoise. then, you could like, put glitter on the painted waves. that would be really pretty. im 13, and those are my fave colors. you could probally do a variation with purple or red or whatever. good luck with your room!

What is the best way to remove paint from decorative iron railing?
I have decorative iron railing on my front porch and flat roof that has a ridiculous amount of paint on it that has never been stripped. I have taken a grinder to the parts that I can get to, however, that is only about 30% with all of the swirls and s-curves being too tight to get the grinder in.
I would prefer to not use any sort of chemical stripper, but if that is the best method, then so be it. There are about 8-10 layers of paint. It has flaked and chipped all over the place, but has simply been painted over (and over and over) throughout the years.
Any suggestions?What is the best way to remove paint from decorative iron railing?
if it's not up against a wood surface you can use a propane torch %26amp; a wire brushWhat is the best way to remove paint from decorative iron railing?
You could go down to your hardware store and buy yourself a cheap sand blaster for about $20.00 and some sand and sand blast it off.You would have to shield the surrounding area so you don't take off the paint that you don't want off. I do it all of the time.O! The $20.00 doesn't include an air compressor. You do need one of those also. Sorry.
you have several options.
1. sandblaster
2. pressure washer
3 scrape it off and sand it back
4. CHEMICALS%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; but not the ones you think. Easy off oven cleaner will take the paint off. Spray it with a pressure hose after soaking it in oven cleaner for two or three hours. you may have to reapply a few times depending on how much paint is on there.
The best method would be something like a stripper and then hose it off, you might have to let it set and then give it several coats. I use E-Z stripper is good from Ace Hardware.
I tried chemicals and it was a mess. It worked but try to avoid it if possible. Try a dremel tool with brush.

I paint decorative windows for a living, some for store windows some in homes.?
My question is does anyone know of a good tempera paint that won't peel?
The paint I used to use isn't being manufactured anymore. I could use acrylic paint but it would have to be scraped off and most clients don't want to bother. I would do it myself but I do over 200 paintings in a 6 week period and don't have time to clean them off for people. I used paint from Michaels but it's very gritty. I bought some other paint online and it peeled off after about a week. The paintings need to stay intacked for about 2 to 3 months. HelpI paint decorative windows for a living, some for store windows some in homes.?

I'm about paint my horses hoofs in decorative bright florals,which paint is safe for ';Trooper';?
You can get HOOF Paint from any horsey outlet. Only available in limited colour range at present. Get the liquid tin NOT a Spray version (very messy) and cloggs up very easily.
Hope this helps

Home decorative paint color ideas?
So, I figure there are probabaly a lot more people out there with much more decorative skills than I have. My fiancee and I moved into our first house last year, and we plan to soon move our attention from the yard to the inside. The same color was painted pretty much throughout the house. I would like to get some opinions on two rooms...The family/living room, and dining room.
Key points: The color on the wall is a neutral light brown tanish color and the floors are an off white tile.
So for the family room, all we really have in there is a large dark wood entertainment center with high shelves and the TV etc, a matching wood table in the center of the room, a light chocolaty brown couch with a dark wood sofa table behind it. There are also two nice lamps with the same type of colors. The problem here is that we are getting into too much browns, and I'm not sure what will be a good way to spice it up. We would like some color, nothing too crazy since we spend a lot of time in there. There is also a large window in the room (no curtains or anything yet) and we plan to add a large nice fake tree. Has anyone had a similar dilemma? Or have any colors, suggestions to recommend?
For the dining room, it is a similar story. Same wall/floor color, with a dark wood table. We added a darker greenish colored curtain to the two windows, as well as matching placemats and napkins. We were thinking of possibly painting this room darker, maybe a darker brown color? Or dark maroonish color? Again, any suggestions?
I lack decorative skills, and tend to lean towards the clean, sharp look. But that doesn't leave much room for color, so I need the suggestions.
Thanks in advance.Home decorative paint color ideas?
How about adding blue to the family room. Not a very loud blue, but a cool calming blue (that probably has a hint of gray in it). This color would look very good w/ the browns/tans that you already have. Try having a feature wall. Leave the other walls the existing color and pick a wall to paint blue or better yet, add horizontal or vertical stripes that consist of tan and blue.
Then you can accessorize. Try getting pillows that have dark brown, blue, and tan. Get other decor items in different shades of blue. Dark brown wall sconces are a good idea (use blue candles) and you can get a nice area rug as well with the different shades in it.
For the dining room, I wouldn't necessary paint the entire room with one very dark color. But if you'd like to have a dark color in there, do the same as I suggested with the family room and have a feature wall with the color. Also buy accessories in that color as well. But definitely include a light or medium color in the room to make it more inviting.
These a just a few ideas to help you get moving, so I hope this helps.Home decorative paint color ideas?
