- "Things Even a Monkey Should Know" is a show about things EVERYONE should know about doing fixes around the house, yard and cars. This time, I have decided I do not like having typical looking appliances. I am painting my washer. This is fun, I promise!

That dryer looks awesome. I am totally painting my machines
And here I was being content to have them mechanically sound. ; ) Nice paint jobs!
That's amazing- Good work and thanks for posting!
Years ago I had a laundromat and when we decided to paint the ancient dryers, I was given THIS wonderful TIP: If you set the alkyd paint in a bucket of very hot water, it goes on MUCH smoother, and actually can flow enough to even out the brush strokes. If you have a tiny can, it will heat better. (DO NOT put paint on any heater)!!!
What a fun idea! I never would have thought of that. Brilliant!
I love it and will definitely try. Thanks for your time!
Hey, loved it and your sense of creativity. I too love color and often look at something and think ...why not? I'm not as bold as you. I would only do a solid color but I looked at your video because I looked at my white washer that is still in good shape and thought...how boring! Thanks again and Happy painting! Great info.
Superb job!, and very cool color combo I just love it.
Way cool! Love it.
I am loving the outcome; great job!
Maybe I'll try this with the washer that a relative of mine dropped off to me that I did not want.
Great video. Wow what patience you have! So creative too.
I love that blue thing you have on... very nice blue...
Awesome! I think your washer and dryer end results looks super amazing and shows your creativity. Also, fooey to all the haters asking "why". Also, appreciate the useful explanations and details throughout! :)
You've inspired me! Thanks for the video!
*runs off the nearest big box home improvement store full of inspiration to buy washer to paint*
You do a great job. Very creative !
Paint you hot water valve handle red while your at it.... just a thought.
+mazwt44 Great idea!
Wow! That's a great idea!!!
hey I liked the way she shows how to fix it and all the problems that come with it
Not sure that I'd ever paint a washer or dryer, but if I need to, I now know how. Saved for future reference. As always, great job, Tamara and keep up the good work! Your channel is blossoming.
+beauxtx1959 Thanks very much! And it is amazing how much a simple paint job can spruce something up. :-)
Like the artwork on the Wall!
great video! i have been wanting to do something like this! now i will. :)
That is beautiful !
This was very helpful to watch.
Totally creative idea!
Fantastic idea..thanks mam!
cool. i just started buying, repairing and selling used appliances. clicked here for a quick painting tutorial. I may try a similar color scheme one day and see if it sells.
+Dexter Christian Or take custom orders! I did this purely for myself, but have since gotten several requests to do other people's!
nice video, but that zip tie was on your drain hose for safety reasons. Drain hoses do from time to time work themselves out. Definitely replace that. We repair,sell and install appliances.
You are correct! I replaced the zip ties. :-)
i like this a lot, thanks for share your video, regards
Your machine looks amazing, Tamara!! 👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you! 😊
Great video -- I bought spray paint for mine. Have you tried that or have reasons not to? Also, about that "function." My (now ex) used to ask if we could have ANYTHING practical. Uhhhh, no. ;)
never seen someone paint a washer/dryer. pretty cool, nice vid
This was a worthy project and a well done video. Asking why they aren't left white is like telling me that I should leave the family coloring book blank. I'm thinking of color schemes that might shine some extra brightness upon an unlikeable chore performed in a dismal basement that would surely benefit from some color infusion. Thanks for the idea and instructions
This was awesome! Thank you. totally agree that plain white laundry machines are pretty boring. Adding this to my project list :)
With this paint, do you think I could order the 3 primary colors and then mix from there if I had a design using a lot of different colors?
+Jim Ollis That's great! Glad to know there will be another happily colored machine out there soon. :-)
You could definitely order the primaries and mix them! These paints mixed very well and were pretty true to the rules of color theory. You may want to order a white also, as the red and blue are quite rich, and make for a dark color pretty quickly. I ordered these from blick.com. They have a great selection and were the best price I could find. Best of luck and have fun!
Love the videos, Tamara is so gorgeous, too.
That's a fact .. and now married --to a great guy I'm sure!
Your beautiful just like your dryer 😍
It is like a big blank canvas!
beautiful
@6:40 actually, they typically do recommend you secure the drain hose. That way the pressure doesn't launch it out of the drain and spray dirty water everywhere. Doesn't look like that could happen with your setup, but just wanted to point out that is a fairly normal step.
Thats a great idea and execution on that washer. You remind me of another youtuber so much so that I have to think your related. Kirsten Joy Weiss is her name and she shoots fun with gun videos. I love your art also and wish you all the success you could hope for.
+Mr. Spectaculous Thank you! And thanks for the heads up about Kirsten. Her videos are great! As far as I know, we're not related. :-)
I wanna paint my stacked washer and dryer a metallic color. I hate white as well and purchasing a darker color cost a lot of money. Thank you for this
Check out the One Shot Paint metallics. They REALLY look like whatever they’re trying to emulate (copper or silver or whatever). I have also had good results mixing metallics with their regular colors (like black and silver, which made a nice dark metallic gray, or brown and copper which made a more interesting dark copper color). Have fun! :-)
Personally the only reason I checking out her videos is simply because of her, no matter what she does or what she says! wait, she did a good job on that GE Hydrowave washer!
John
+John AK72 Hey thanks!
How did you get the dark blue color it's beautiful and exactly the color I'm trying to get!
I got it by mixing a little of the primary red with the primary blue. Do it in small increments because the red is a very strong color and will quickly take your blue from a dark violet blue to a bright violet! Have fun!
Fun. I'm not as wild as you. Given me ideas, though. Do you think the paint would withstand the temperatures of an electric range? What was the brand of paint, again?
Thanks!
+anon31415 Not sure if it would withstand those temps or not. However, it is used for pinstriping cars, so I would think it could withstand a fairly high temperature. This is an enamel paint and enamels are often used in higher temperature applications. This one dries to a hard, glossy finish.
The brand is called One Shot. I found it to be least expensive (and a very good selection of colors) on blick.com . Hope this helps!
helpful. thx.
great job
Did you paint the back?
Awesome paint job now you can paint mine if you want lol
+MrJustDIY Ha, thanks! And I am sure you would want to personalize yours to your own taste! :-)
MonkeysKnow I'm sure but I don't know how good it would turn out.
+MrJustDIY That's part of the beauty of it. If you don't like it the first time, just paint over it! (I really wasn't too sure how well this was going to turn out in the beginning.)
MonkeysKnow So true :) have a great day
Interesting...LSU hanging Auburn out to dry!
What brand of paint did u use?
One Shot. It is expensive, but a little goes a long way and the finish is almost indestructible!
ooh ooh ooh
Definitely should sand before you paint. That coat wont stick at all.
Super heroe style babe⚒
Don't forget about refrigerators.
you are fab
My god your gorgeous tamara
My laundromat owner is kind of a grouch, I doubt if he'd allow me to do this.
He might get more business if you did. ;-)
Yeah lol.
Could I use this paint on my toaster and toaster oven?????? I love this idea it came out so nice on your washer and dryer. I can't find any vids that show painting small kitchen appliances anywhere, But I have some ideas of what I want to do to all of my white appliances. Like my blender my hand mixer and my kitchen aid mixer. This video sparked so many ideas for me so thanks.
I would think it would depend on how hot your toaster and toaster oven get. I have not had any troubles with it on my dryer, but not sure it heats up on the outside as much as small appliances. You could definitely do your blender and mixer! Happy painting!! :-)
I will never ever paint my washing machine..
You look and sound like if you could be the sister of EngineeringExplained.
she is fit
she looks like nicole kidman
damn gurl u fine
Ms. Robertson,
¡ Namaste !

Considering my-self a Quoteologist and Wordsmithey, the framed quote on the wall above your dryer and washer set caught my Keen Eye, yet i Was Unable to read it...

Painting the washing machine... Too much time on your hands girl.
Hey, loved it and your sense of creativity. I too love color and often look at something and think ...why not? I'm not as bold as you. I would only do a solid color but I looked at your video because I looked at my white washer that is still in good shape and thought...how boring! Thanks again and Happy painting! Great info.
Happy painting to you! Laundry is much more fun when the washer is a better color. And I'm really not joking. :-)
