Upcycle An Old Mirror With Dulux Spray Effect Granite

Instead of throwing out that old piece of furniture, why not upcycle it with spray paint? What’s more, with Dulux Spray Effect Granite, you can easily turn a basic piece of furniture or home décor into a stylish, unique piece that fits your space perfectly.

Here’s what you need:

• Zinsser B-I-N Primer Spray
• Dulux Spray Effects Granite Grey
• Your chosen top coat colour Dulux Spray Paint

Here’s how to do it:

Step 1:

Clean the mirror frame to remove any dust and grime. Then, mask the mirror with masking tape and paper to protect it from the spray.

Step 2:

Apply an even coat of Zinsser B-I-N Primer spray to the mirror frame. Allow to dry completely.

Step 3:

Once the primer is dry, spray an even coat of Dulux Spray Effects Granite Grey. Apply the spray paint in several light coats (as opposed to one heavy coat). Remember, it’s much easier to add layers of paint than take them away. The texture builds the more you spray, so if your desired finish is very textured, keep spraying!

Step 4:

Spray your chosen top coat evenly over the textured base, again painting in light layers and allow it to dry thoroughly. We used Dulux Antique White USA to give our mirror a more subtle texture that blended well with our coastal aesthetic. However, the beauty of spray paint is that there are so many colours to choose from so you can let your creativity shine.

And just like that you’ve got a low-effort, unique statement piece that fits your home and style without breaking the bank.
