Good luck
Use spray paint
Do you mean the frame for the mirror? I’d tape the edges of the mirror that meet the frame and then paint the frame with chalk paint.
Spray paint but my favorite one is antique mercury technique
Hello Patricia,
Use an ART brush. easier for tight spaces. Best wishes
I think people already know you paint with a paint brush.
What are you trying to achieve? More details might be helpful. Are you taking about the frame or a decorative finish to the actual mirror?
I painter mine with chalk board paint and it worked great. You can paint it with paint made for glass
I think it depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. You can use glass paint.
