Safety Considerations

Consider working in your garage or on your patio.

Spray paint is best for this project.

Brushing on acrylic paint will leave brush marks.
Spray paint frames made of wood, metal, or laminate for the best results.
Then,clean the framewith a damp rag soaked in soap and warm water.

Remove all dust and debris and dry it thoroughly with a clean cloth.
This allows you to cover up any exposed glass and completely secure the frame cover.
Now, apply spray paint in two even coats, allowing it to dry between each coat.

Some colors and paint types require more coats than others.
Use your judgment here.
Remove the tape and paper covering before the final coat of paint completely dries.
