Chalk paint mirror frame.

Pushing it into the curves and grooves gives it more of a softer coastal look. Chalk paint drys very quickly. You could use standard chalk paint and a brush but given how small a surface mirror frames usually are spray chalk paint works just as well and is much faster. Now you are ready to spray paint the mirror frame with the chalk paint.

The great thing about chalk paint is that there is no sanding or other prep work well minus taping off the mirror. Use a round paint brush to get the best coverage over the frame. Use french linen to apply a wash over the white coat. Take your time while using the chalk paint to ensure that the frame is fully covered.

For this mirror frame i went with a lighter blue annie sloan chalk paint in duck egg. Paint entire mirror frame 2 3 coats of white chalk paint allowing dry time between coats. He said it was actually super easy. I m not very handy with razor blades so i had my hubby scrape off the paint.

Paint the entire mirror frame and make sure to properly cover any detailing or crevices. Tape off mirror with painter s tape for easier clean up in the end. Chalk paint dries pretty fast. Like i said i read online that we d be able to easily scrape off the chalk paint.

You should apply two to three coats to the frame. Once the chalk paint was dry i wiped on annie sloan s white wax with a lint free cloth. Scrape the paint off the mirror with a razor blade. Just go for it.

Chalk paint dries pretty fast. It was pretty convenient that there was already a layer of blue paint on there.
