How To Spray Paint A Mirror Frame White

Looking to give your mirror a fresh, updated look? Spray painting the frame is a quick and easy way to do it. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to spray paint a mirror frame white:

Materials you'll need:

Mirror with removable frame
White spray paint
Primer (optional)
Sandpaper
Tack cloth
Painter's tape
Drop cloths

Step 1: Prepare the frame

Remove the mirror from the frame. If the frame is not removable, tape off the mirror with painter's tape to protect it from the paint.

Sand the frame lightly to remove any dirt or debris. Wipe down the frame with a tack cloth to remove any dust.

Step 2: Prime the frame (Optional)

If the frame is made of a material that is not typically painted, such as wood or metal, you may want to prime it first. This will help the paint to adhere better and give you a more professional-looking finish.

Apply a thin coat of primer to the frame and let it dry completely.

Step 3: Spray paint the frame

Shake the can of spray paint thoroughly before using. Hold the can about 6-8 inches from the frame and spray in a smooth, even motion.

Apply multiple thin coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

Step 4: Let the paint dry

Once you have applied the final coat of paint, allow it to dry completely before reattaching the mirror or removing the painter's tape.

Step 5: Reassemble the mirror

Once the paint is dry, reattach the mirror to the frame. If you taped off the mirror, carefully remove the tape.

Your newly spray-painted mirror frame is now complete!

Tips:

Use a light touch when sanding the frame to avoid damaging it.
Apply thin coats of paint and allow each coat to dry completely to avoid runs and drips.
If you are painting a large frame, consider using a spray gun for a more even finish.
Protect your work area with drop cloths to avoid getting paint on your furniture or floor.
