How to paint a lamp

[@rogerwilbanks289]

Never spray indoors

[@lhasaapso3360]

Agreed, and not without a mask. Those fumes are noxious.

[@fernandovittes2461]

Nice job, but please don't spray paint inside your kitchen, over spray flies quite far

[@kathyfry1128]

My husband spray painted something in my basement one time. I could not breath when I walked in the house because the paint fumes permeated the entire house. So, it surprised me to see that you are doing that in your kitchen. ???

[@JamiRayVintage]

We only spray painted in the house the time. I don’t recommend it.

[@firestonevlogs6361]

I installed a vent fan in my basement above a table, so I use it for painting. There is also a fan/heater to speed up drying.

[@JamiRayVintage]

That sounds awesome!

[@lynnd5478]

Im surprised there wasnt over spray all over your kitchen cabinets and appliances - lol...

[@thegatheredgoods]

Working up the nerve and gathering ALL of my effort to do another video and thought I'd see how your first one went. You make it look so easy, I just need to do it!! Thanks for the inspiration as always!

[@JamiRayVintage]

This one is funny. It was way too long and we spray painted in the kitchen 🤦🏼‍♀️. We get so many mean comments lol

[@thegatheredgoods]

@@JamiRayVintage but I love your attitude about the mean comments - it's only helping your engagement ( and they are fun to make fun of).

[@JamiRayVintage]

❤️❤️

[@theresayockim3750]

Jami, mean comments really say more about the person leaving them. You are wonderful and I've learned so much because of all your efforts. I applaud you mightily ❤. Thank you so much for the amazing library you have compiled for all us learners/newbies. Total inspiration!!!

[@darciacowart3387]

Excellent video as always. Watched this the other day for inspiration, then headed to the thrift stores. I picked up a few wood lamps that have great shapes. Both were dark wood. I chalk painted them a white to match the pieces I had already done to stage the house. RS came to help me get our home ready to go on the market. I let them choose what they felt would look best, and get an awe! response. They choose those lamps! Not the new lamps. They wanted to know where I got them! Change the shade and base with paint and good to go!

[@JamiRayVintage]

Yay! That’s so great!

[@cobwebafternoon3737]

❤❤❤ I was watching today's live video and you mentioned this one, so I had to watch! Even back then you seem pretty confident! I love how your videos have evolved ❤❤❤

[@theresayockim3750]

Boy. This is a blast from your past. 😂 Did you really just spray paint inside your house? It's really fun to look back and see how far you've come. No Wonder you are so great at what you do; lots of practice.

[@spiritmama]

Next time you paint lamps, could you show what it looks like when the light is on? A close-up look.

[@teresaramos1719]

Omg. You are doing this Inside and in your kitchen!???????

[@kimberlydrake6676]

Wow Jamie ...blast from the past! I was looking up how to paint a lamp shade and there you were....awesome then...awesome now!!😊🌟

[@JamiRayVintage]

Lol. This was our very first KZbin video

[@michellebarham326]

Awesome! I just scored a small lamp from a thrift store today for $4, much like the one you painted with the gun metal paint..thanks for the inspiration AGAIN😁👍👍👍

[@JamiRayVintage]

Nice! (This was our very first KZbin video.) 🙂❤️

[@michellebarham326]

Jami Ray Vintage, Wow..you did a great job 1st time filming👍

[@LULC0759]

I would love to see you paint your kitchen cabinets with one of those beautiful colors. Would truly pop in the background of your kitchen videos.😊

[@Iknowyoumadnow]

Overspray 😆.... OVERSPRAY!!! 😆

[@jmfernan75]

Love your channel Zeb and Jaime just had to watch your first video cant wait to watch the latest update on your new home lots of blessings from South Africa Limpopo province

[@JamiRayVintage]

Thanks! This video was a bit of a train wreck. Lol

[@dinomite078]

Anyone know the name of the spray she recommends for the lamp shade at the end ?

[@VeradonaRestoration]

Very nice !

[@cactusandherbs]

Nice work 👍😁😁👍😁😁

[@catherinemiles8021]

Had to come over to watch your first video it was fantastic 🤗

[@JamiRayVintage]

Hehe

[@renewalof48]

I am loving this & will try it.

[@JamiRayVintage]

Donia Gonzales Copeland thanks for watching

[@Tatjanak1989]

do you have to sand chrome if you want to paint it white? it's ok if it looks painted, to me..

[@martharay4403]

I recognize that lamp! I see it in my house every day.

[@gloriafields4328]

Oh my gosh ! I just picked up a matching pair of lamps the other day for $10 that looks almost just like these. Again, another great idea. Thanks

[@loriroberts689]

Lots of great information. Just a suggestion - The camera was not in focus on close ups. Maybe that's just me but I like to see exactly what it will look like. Thank you for the great video!!

[@JamiRayVintage]

We're getting better. This was our very first video. It still gets blurry every now and then. But we have improved over the last year. Thanks for watching :)

[@sharonciampi7129]

love it great job thank u

[@momof2momof2]

I have yet to see a lampp shade painting video where they show the after with the lamp turned on :(

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s hard to film a lamp on. It just washes everything out and you can see much of anything.

[@Soul_N_Control]

The paint hides the light that shines through unless you use a thin chalk paint and even then.

[@karendefelice9272]

Im curious about the Lamp Shades - I have fabric, high quality but ugly, is there a certain type of paint to use? Also, I would never think to poly on fabric does that protect it from chipping, just any wood poly or is there special for fabric? Of course I wouldn't have thought to paint the fabric either so what do I know :) :)

[@JolovesDecor]

I vaguely remember watching this years ago. Cannot believe it’s been this long. I had a different KZbin name. It was my full name I watched it under, but I remember.

[@JamiRayVintage]

That’s awesome. Our very first video. Almost 5 years now

[@maryanneprice9139]

Hi there! I’ve been a sub for awhile now and I was wondering if I could use waverly chalk paint or rustoleum chalk paint on a lamp shade? I hope you see this question because this is an old video! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@onelove5206]

Yes you can! I’ve done it

[@maryanneprice9139]

@@onelove5206 thank you, i painted it and it turned out beautiful

[@shirleyempeigne7695]

Can you use acrylic paint for the lamp shade? Thanks

[@JamiRayVintage]

Shirley Empeigne I don't kno I haven't tried

[@mariellebissonnettelavoie6398]

I found a couple of old lamp with very old wires that I felt were unsafe, like fire hazard unsafe. Is it easy to change them for new wires? I have no knowledge in electricity.

[@misskathy4931]

Hardware store has replacement wiring for lamps. Very easy to redo

[@yogashot]

What type of paint do you use for the shades ;)

[@JamiRayVintage]

Fairy Chalk Mother single step paint.

[@maryvaughn6121]

yogashot has

[@gloriafields4328]

I have the chance to get 3 brass lamps. Would you paint them or clean them? How would I go about painting them if I can?

[@JamiRayVintage]

There are several ways you could paint them if that's the route you choose. For lamps I like rustoleum spray paints but I have also painted lamps with chalk paint and milk paint. It all depends on the look you're going for.

[@Jo-ww5ei]

I’ve painted brass lamps with a matt finish Valspar spray paint. (The best brand in my opinion) They turned out gorgeous. A creamy white. The lamps were expensive as well, I took a chance on. Not sorry, would do again in a heartbeat.

[@susanmcewen7312]

What kind of paint can I use? Latex

[@JamiRayVintage]

We sprayed these with spray paint but I prefer diy paint for furniture and decor. jamirayvintage.com/collections/diy-paint-and-finishes

[@martinelestage8877]

what brand of poly mat are you using?

[@lys2305]

Ooooooh . (Sorry for my french-english !) After watching this video i sprayed twi boards in white for my shelf and a modern big lamp, (wich was golden) in silver. Prime and then 3 or 4 lyer of color. I was so stupid to do it inside my flat, so i had a lot of dust everywhere afterwords !. But i have a question. I have been looking for long to find a siver spray, wich is relly "silver", because i have a silver chandelier in the same room. This chandelier looks like silver spoons, the color is like a mix of chrom and a lottle bit gold and very bright. So i bought a silver spray, where the color on the top was that kind of "silver". Bur the result (after many layers) is really a cold metallic grey . Not natural at all. Like chrome, but without shine ! So, i don't have the color of my Chandelier, and i don't have the shining of his metal. Do you think it is possible to find a spray (or an other kind of color to paint) in the real apparence of silver ? I'm watching a lot of your videos tonight and learning new things. Thank you for all !

[@JamiRayVintage]

I’m not sure what’s available in your area? I really like Rustoleum Metallic Finish in chrome.

[@jeannewhitman3447]

Umm not for nothing to spray paint in your kitchen with the over spray is not wise.. the can says needs good ventilation. And I hear a baby In the back-round not safe for As far as you work it’s great..

[@tagpopper4520]

Hi! I love your channel! Quick question do you paint the inside of the shade as well? Also, is the paint non-flammable?

[@JamiRayVintage]

I believe because it’s spray paint it’s flammable when wet but it’s fine once it dries. I’ve never had an issue. I don’t paint the insides unless it will be visible or it looks bad in contrast.

[@tagpopper4520]

Thank you :) I was just wondering if it would be safe on the lampshade when you turn the light on.

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Tag Popper // I WOULDN'T paint the inside.

[@lifeworthy2959]

Why was it necessary to finish with a Matt poly?

[@JamiRayVintage]

It’s a look I prefer. I like dull play finishes. I was trying to get it to look like the paint didn’t have any sealer at all on it.

[@deeramsey3279]

its jerks like you that live longer because you share your love of creativity with us all. lol.. thx so much for sharing. namaste

[@JamiRayVintage]

Dee Ramsey thanks for watching!

[@mikejp007]

13:05 and then I used "Da" white Wax lol You amazing Jami Ray Vintage I love your channel. Thanks for sharing....

[@donnajohnson658]

Is there a danger of them catching fiire

[@JamiRayVintage]

No more than any other regular lamp

Bam! 15th sub!! Keep posting videos! Xoxo

[@JamiRayVintage]

Aprils Life Thanks girl!

[@anashilinsky]

They look's awesome !!

[@Donna61111]

Painting the electric cord makes it look unprofessional. It would only take a few seconds to use painters tape. Otherwise, a great job on turning throw away lamps into something beautiful!

[@lys2305]

Then i am very proud because i painted a lamp today and i have taped the cord before !

[@donnagray4901]

You did this right in your kitchen😂

[@katrinaangelina80]

Oh dear lord, I hope you don't spray inside anymore!! 😪

[@JamiRayVintage]

Not in the kitchen😂😂😂

[@rjh1675]

I once sprayed two brass lamps with white chalk style spray paint and when I switched them on after, they blew a fuse I the house and never worked again...what happened?

[@keliweisgerber3896]

Im sure you can build it too guys. Just look for WoodPrix page

[@melafuentes6905]

😷😷😷👏👏👏

[@opsendless8792]

These seems like I need a thousand things to paint a lamp shade. :(

[@anatoliybyzko1545]

Покрасить зелёной краской и выбросить на помойку

[@Ircar47]

As it say - results may vary.... Like Your enthusiasm and confidence, but Girl, Really ???! Spraying in the kitchen, couple feet away from counters on a table -or island where you cook and eat … spray paint INSIDE in the Kitchen and I heard small child voice - you haven't been thinking ... Other part - from school days - you presenting your project/demonstrating ---PREPARE ! Just out of respect. And -Integrity, if it's your 1st or 2nd or 3rd time -- just say so, that You do that revamp with your viewers - it's bring you much more respect and success -than fake it till you make it ... Hope you find my comment not negative ,but constructive, everyone had to start somewhere … Best Regards !

[@JamiRayVintage]

Haha, this was our very first video and the freeway was loud outside and lighting was bad in the garage. We never spray in the house….except this one video. 😂😂

[@marilynalexander5446]

spray painting in a kitchen is she for real

[@aprilmckenzie2266]

No gloves, no mask, inadequate ventilation, and worse - can hear a child in background ... really? Won't be subscribing here!

[@ERProductionsOFFICIAL]

Lol why in the world would you spray paint indoors smh get educated please that is not safe

[@JamiRayVintage]

That’s a good question! 😂 we’re still not sure why we decided to do that lol

[@misskathy4931]

Umm...pay more attention to detail.
