NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. Clean mirrors with glass cleaner and let dry. Wipe off wooden frames with dampened paper towel and let dry. Tape around mirror with 1" painter's tape.

2. Use a 3/4" flat brush and Relic to basecoat each mirror frame. Rinse brush. Let dry completely.

3. Use a 1" chip brush and load separately with Vintage and Primitive, wiping off excess paint on a paper towel. Lightly brush over mirror first with Vintage and then with Primitive, using a dry-brush technique. Rinse brush and make sure the frame is fully dry before moving onto the next color.
