Board No More
Dress up an entryway, porch or front door with rustic boards painted with stylish winter icons.
Overview
Old barn floor boards gain new life as decorative planks with paint, stencils and the FLEXiO 3000.
Clean Boards
Clean and wash all boards, especially if you plan on displaying them indoors. Let them sit overnight or until thoroughly dry.
Prepare Stencils
Assemble your stencils. Wood or mylar stencils both work well with the sprayer. Position the stencils on the board, masking off any areas you wish to keep free of paint.
Tape Around Stencils to Protect from Overspray
Use painter's tape and 3M Tape and Drape to protect areas surrounding your stencil. Layer tape so that edges are sealed and protected from any overspray.
Set Sprayer to correct setting
Set the FLEXiO to the lowest spray setting and turn the sprayer nozzle to a horizontal spray.
Begin Spraying
Hold the FLEXiO 4-6 inches from the surface of the board while spraying, lightly gliding from left to right over the stencil.
Remove Stencil
After spraying, remove the stencil immediately. Carefully remove any painter's tape. Let dry thoroughly.
Display and Decorate
Once your project is dry, place it in your desired location and decorate around it for a festive and stylish display.
