The key to an even, shiny finish is allowing each coat to dry totally. I once was too impatient whilst painting a plain wood shelf for my kitchen. I did not wait long enough between my first and second coats and the paint bubbled and rippled. It was ugly! I had to wipe the entire shelf down with paint stripper and start over again! <br /><br />Miss Magpie: Thanks! Spray paint is so fun and amazing when it comes to the many ways it can literally transform things! I also love the fact there are so many colors, finishes, and effects like metallic, crackle, and glitter!<br /><br />Fiona: Thanks for the compliment! I loved the original mirror but I did not want a duplicate. I chose gold because I have a huge round mirror over my mantle. I almost went with red spray paint but I have too much red in that room due to my curtains, cushions, and ceramics.<br /><br />Melzaelf: Thanks! I am tempted to go back and get another and do it a bright silver for my bedroom but I think I want another style. Home Goods stores often have nice starburst mirrors in their stores. I would love a real vintage one but again, the shipping tends to be high and mid-century mirrors/clocks are so expensive because they really have held their value.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-12182871346858404192011-09-13T11:56:33.361-07:002011-09-13T11:56:33.361-07:00OoHhH I love what you did with the mirror.
