    You will probably need to sand it a little first. Then just over the mirror with spray paint the frame.

    I would cover the mirror and spray the frame with a good primer, I prefer Zinsser 1-2-3 in gray color as the gray is easier to cover.

      Hey Deb, spraying with gray primer is a great tip! I never thought of that. I always get white primer or have it tinted the color I'm painting if I think I'll use it all on one project. I can see how much sense it makes though to use a gray when you will need it for several projects. Thank you!

    You need only give it a good cleaning so the pain will adhere to it and spray paint or brush on in your desired color. I repainted our bathroom light with a cool metallic effect that you can see here.
