We have a very old, heavy gilt overmantel mirror which I'd like to paint as it doens't look too good against the black fire surround it sits on.
Has anyone painted an old mirror like this? How do I prep it (it's quite intricate so would be hard to sand down)?
I would prefer not to move it as it's incredibly heavy, am I mad to consider painting it in situ?
Any advice would be very welcome!
TIA
