    I am currently and slowly putting masking tape all around the big ornate mirror before I paint the frame. It’s very fiddly. After masking tape around edges then I’ll tape paper to cover the glass. I’ve never seen a window or mirror cleaned up well after paint drips so I’m taking a lot of care.

      Reasons my stairs are not being done with a spray gun. It would take half a year* to tape everything off properly.

        I considered taking the mirror out the frame but it is so big the risk of breakage is too high

        I’m using a small detailing brush to paint the frame

        so much work and I’m not even restoring, I’m just painting over the old paint but properly
