Before painting the back of the antique mirror, try adding a stencil. This can add a personalized touch and BONUS... if your mirror makeover is going to be an addition to another piece of furniture, you can customize the look for a great match.
Apply the Citri-Stripe orange gel liberally to the backside of the antique mirror with a chip brush or an old brush you don't mind throwing away. It's a pretty messy process antiquing a mirror. Then you wait!
