Daniels way is obviously the best...


My way works if you're lazy and don't want to spend that much time and you only want to spend a couple of bucks.

I painted the lower valance black (was gray) months ago and it's held up really really good. Didn't really do anything to prep it, other than wipe it down to get any dirt or grime off.

Just depends what route you want to go and how much time you want to spend.
