Shabby chic remodelling of a garage sale mirror Tutorial

This is my first attempt at a tutorial, go easy on me lol.
I found this old mirror at a garage sale for just a few dollars. First step was to paint it, I used resenes test pot paints,you I only needed one pot for the mirror but if you intend to match other project pieces it pays to grab a couple of extra pots. The color I chose has a tinted blue/Grey hue. Barely detectable until you pop it near a crisp white.
I used a tiny detailing brush to carefully get into the edges without having to remove the mirror and original backing label.
You can speed up the drying of water based or acrylic paints using a hairdryer, not too hot though!
Next I used Rub-n-buff tube metallic gold paint. You only need the teeniest bit on a rag, wipe off the excess and gently buff the raised surfaces of the design pieces. Apply more layers to highlight as required. It is person preference really.

Now my old mirror has a new life in my bedroom as a piece I really treasure.
