Wow!!!! Thank you so much. They look amazing. I hope scotch sponsors your Chanel.

You're a GENIUS. I just bought a mobile home and need to replace windows and want black ones but they are expensive. You just saved me thousands of dollars. Thanks SO much! Can't wait to show the painter this video!

Love it! You are the man Greg! I'm going to pitch this project to my husband today!

I can't wait to start my window project! Thank you!

Wow! Looks amazing! I’m on it! Thanks!

Great Video! Thanks for the excellent tip!

GREAT VIDEO. Just what I was looking for. I am doing this same project on the back of my house with metal windows. 6 of them. I am using now this technic to mask off my windows. I am using the same set up as a template masking, paint to save paper and money, take off masking to another window. I have 5 the same size. Oh a tip for you. Get you a Rust-Oleum 241526 Comfort Grip for spray paint cans, makes it real easy to paint without getting paint on your hands. I am 68 year old woman and the can spray makes my hand hurt. Good job!@ THE BLACK electrical tape is GENIUS. Since mine back windows are dark brown and not updated like the beige in front, I chose to just paint them again in dark brown because of the grid.

Oh wow. I admit, I thought doing the inside would be a mess,. It actually looks great, going to do mine. Thanks 😊

Love how black windows came back into style lol. My house is from the 70s and windows from 70s and 80s, with near-black alu frames. They were considered dated in colour, but now are cool again (and so I just swapped in new dual pane glass inserts to freshen up)

Awesome job!!!! Those black windows aren't expensive now :)

What a Great Job !! Thanks SO Much

This is brilliant. Thank you!

Love it. I just built a home and it’s grey painted brick. I love it but think the windows should have been black to match the door. I think this is just what it needs. I know you said maybe not on a new window but I truly believe it will definitely give my new home a pop and curb appeal. We’re in Texas so I’m hoping the tape will hold up. Thanks.

You literally just saved my husband’s life after he ordered the wrong windows for our new build 😩🙏🏾

This is brilliant! 👏

I can only imagine the houses in the town that all went and did this hack all have their duct tape flying off during the hot summer lol

Would you know if the tape would hold in colder climate conditions for years on end even hot temperatures i wonder if yours held in without coming off over time please lmk thanks love the way this came out and im currently in replacing my siding and what a white and black look..again please lmk thanks..

YOU ARE A GENIUS GOING TO TRY THIS THANKS A MILLION

Hi Greg. I want to paint my interior kitchen windows and I love the fact that there is a solution for the grids. I am concerned about painting the latches but we never use them anyway. Would it be ok to do that? Also I am going to have to hand paint because of the way my kitchen windows are configured - Its an old house.. Tips please.

Hi! I am also in north Florida. Could this work with Vinyl replacement windows? Would you recommend a different paint if so?

Quedó muy bien.

Hi! Watching up in Canada. Wonder how this tape holds up in the cold. I've got an older colonisl red brick with white mttoned windows with a black trim around them. I've been thinking of trying this. Anyone know how it holds up in the serious cold? Zone 4. Thanks for a great video!

I appreciate this video. I'm not looking to spend $$$$ of dollars professionals charge, when my windows are old anyway. Thanks again.

OK I have lots of questions. Can you do this same thing with vinyl windows and doesn’t that tape look weird up close? Won’t it come off with weather or when you clean the windows.

Did you sand the frames, or any other prep before painting? (Other than washing)

Love it!!!

Hello what do you have to do if the windows have vinyl frames when painting? thanks!

Hi Greg, I have been told that you cannot paint black on vinyl windows? What kind of paint did you use and did it hold up well? Thanks so much. Great video!

What type of paint do you recommend for the interior side of the window?

you can never go to much on the masking lol! great JOB!

Could I use brush methods for the interior frame, as opposed to spray? I sprayed one of our windows and nearly fainted. Paint went everywhere and the house was consumed with toxic fumes. Will not repeat indoors! What type of paint could I use with foam rollers & fine bristle brushes for the interior (on an aluminum frame)? Any primer you'd recommend? Thanks!

This is great! I’m excited to try.. I know this will vary but how many tape roll did you need for your home? I have about 8 mid size windows.. about how many rolls would you recommend? Also which finish did you prefer, the high gloss or semi gloss?

Do you have a recommendation for a specific product/paint to use on vinyl windows?

With the changing weather conditions. Does the tape come off?

Thank you 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯

Incredible! This video is what I've been looking for! Thanks

Question, soooo what about in the elements? That tape will just come off no?

Painting aluminum is fine but please, if any of y'all reading this have vinyl windows, do not just paint them willy nilly like this guy did. They will warp. You can only paint vinyl with a specific UV technology.

Gorgeous

Are you kidding me? This is brilliant

yesssss thank you ..

I love this! How does the black tape hold up against cleaning? Will I have to redo the tape after each cleaning?

Love this. Thank you. Have you used the tape for inside windows as well? I wish I could paint the tape to match some of my interior window frames that I painted light French gray. But black is still more appealing than white,

I also have white windows, but wish they were black. However, mine are vinyl instead of aluminum. I've been told that black paint on vinyl can overheat and cause the vinyl to warp? Is there a work around?

How has this held up when you open and close it?

I’m curious how long that paint lasts before it starts to chip and peel?

What does the tape look like from the inside though?

How long does the pain last before it chips or fades?

does the black chip or wear off over the years?

How does it hold up to cleaning?

Does the tape weather and fall off?

How does that hold up with the weather?

Is this some kind of joke 😂 this guy is hilarious and very professional

What kind of paint did you use?

Is it hard to clean the window with the tape on?

I use Rust-Oleum 2X paint and primer spray paint it seems to do a real good job. I'm not looking for a showroom quality finish. I'm just looking for an affordable way to make my fading window frames look good.

where are you located? did your windows warp?

Love it

We used to do the same with the engine light when flipping cars....

Will this work on viynl windows?

I'm confused, does the tape not peal off over time?

How thick is the tape?

Can you still see the white muntin bars at an angle?

Wondering how this would work on windows that are double hung and are able to “tilt in” and slide up and down? Would the paint seal the window? Or would you run a knife over the seal after paint dries? (Just a thought)

That’s some hillbilly stuff right there! I love it!!

Can you paint over vinyl frames???

So it’s been a year since you posted this video..how long did the tape last through the weather?

Are these windows vinyl? I had read you can’t paint vinyl black, but I want to do badly on my boring white replacement windows.

what's the exterior color of the house?

How long will that tape last

Are these vinyl windows?

How long will the electrical tape hold up on the window? Will it hold up in cold weather ( I would be doing inside only)

I can see my husband changing the window trim black by painting or spray painting but he is too impatient to deal with the tedious taping that part would require my patience. It looks good.

Has the tape lasted?

How much would you charge for this type of job?

I’ve been wanting to do this so badly but I have two upstairs windows that have those grids…….. problem solved!!

I new a kid that put duct tape racing stripes on his 74 nova, pretty ghetto just like this

How did you paint the screen? Did you have to cover the screen area?

Great idea if there were no white grids between the panes. I just can't get past the electrical tape. Good idea though for those with a low budget though.

Some people are way too critical. This is a very inexpensive way to update an older home. He's only doing the exterior so I'm sure it looks fine unless you are within a few feet. If you don't like how it looks, remove the tape and go a different route. I am looking to paint the interior so I don't think Scotch electrical tape is going to do the trick. Maybe get some flat aluminum bars cut to the correct size and spray paint to match. Seems like any adhesive would be hidden by the muntins on the other side and minimal gaps could be filled. I'd love any other suggestions. There's a site called New Panes Creations but it looks a little pricey to do for a lot of windows.

How bout vinyl windows?

Holy H3LL dlude...Thanks

Great hack! I was going to paint my car black. Instead I just grabbed a few rolls of super 88 tape and she is good to go.

Were those mullions OR muntins on the home? If someone doesn't like the divided window look and it's muntins on one side which are aesthetics, just remove the useless frame. Unfortunately mine are double sided. The grid isn't on the inside or outside. It's in the middle.

Won’t some of the white show when the window is open?

what happens to the tape when you wash your window? LOL.

diy with hardcore german techno lol

No u did look😃

'Muntins'...? Had to look that up as I've only known them as 'Mullions'! Who knew?!?!

Disneyland 💯 mike mouse

Until it rains or your multiple hurricanes that come through Florida every year

This is cool but a big problem when you go to resell the home.

You can never cover, tape, and protect too much.

Tape LOLOLOLOL ??? I'm sure that's going to last a long time. wow.

WTH. Tape?

You’re KIDDING me

why is your headline not say ALUMINUM?????? WTF

That’s gonna be alive in the sun hits it

Thar tape won't last 6 months. Terrible idea.

Tape on the glass? Seriously?
