Paint On Mirrors

[Razor]

Neeed To Paint The Standard Black Mirrors.
Was Thinking Of Color Codin It With Silver.

Can You Directly Slap The Paint On or Spray ?

Wash/de-grease and dry.
Spray with about 3-4 coats of plastic primer.
Spray with about 3-4 coats of chosen colour.
Spray with about 4-5 coats of laquer.

Alow enough time for primer/paintlaquer to dry before applying the next coat.

You may need to sand the surface down first to get it smooth especially if it's textured.

For the paint I would recommend going 2 coats primer, 2 coats colour then 4 laquer.

Always double up on the laquer so you have 25%, 25%, 50%.
