The tv and I have had our differences over the years. Mostly because it’s the only thing which was left in our apartment which was black so it seemed to suck light into it. Last year I gave it a washi tape make over but it still wasn’t exactly what I wanted so I set out again this year to finally be done with it.
This time I went all out and used actual paint.

You need:
Start by masking off the screen of the tv and any other places you want to keep the paint away from. Mix up a solution of 1 part white paint to 1 part PVA glue in a bowl. The PVA glue will help the paint adhere to the smooth tv surface. You will still need to be careful as you go though because it is slippery.
Use the roller to paint thin coats of white until it’s totally opaque.
You’ll end up with something like this. Be careful to keep the coats very thin especially when you go over the speaker holes so you don’t clog them up! I have no idea what I was watching on tv while I was doing this… but that face wtf? Leave it to dry completely, preferably overnight so there’s no chance of taking the base coat off when you paint the next colour. Then just go right over the top with the mint. I did the details with a paint brush and managed to slip and paint the screen. Luckily it wiped right off *_* Once it’s all dry, carefully remove the tape.
Taadaaaa!
So much happier with this! I didn’t have enough paint to do the back but I’m very happy with this now!
