Question you did not say how you did them did you lay them down outside with a cloth underneath. Would you suggest I prime them first does the paint chip off when you open and close them? I hope you answer me ASAP or someone does as I really want to get this done soon to finish off my room.

Thanks to you, I got the courage to spray-paint one side of the blinds white. It was my first spray-paint job and it went beautifully. I'd imagine it's the same level of difficulty as spray-painting just about anything.
