Paint Your Mirror Trending Gold
Are you a fan of the trending gold framed mirrors? I am and was excited when this beauty was custom called from my stock list to be painted gold.
This huge solid wood dresser mirror with beveled edges will look perfect in gold.
I started with Dixie Belle Slick Stick be sure the gold paint sticks well on the super smooth stained wood. It will also make cleaning the glass not a worry to rub the inner edges.
After a couple hours a second coat of Slick Stick was brushed on and left to dry well overnight.
The customer chose gold digger Dixie Belle Metallic Moonshine paint. I brushed on the first coat with a small flat Dixie Belle synthetic brush. It was the perfect size for this project.
NOTE: metallic paint sets up quickly and easily lifts if brush drags over areas that are recently painted. Try to move faster and let next coat cover more opaquely.
This is closeup of 2 coats. You can see areas where white is till showing. In hind sight I maybe should have just scuff sanded the solid wood frame and applied the gold directly on it. I still do like the security though of the "primed" surface to help with mirror cleaning in the future.
Even after 3 coats there were touch ups done with a fine tipped Dixie Belle Artist Brush
It is complete and ready to be hung in a sweet little girls bedroom. There are flush mount screw holders on the back to hang securely on the wall.
