How should i go about painting a plastered wood mirror?
I have a georgeous mirror which is plastered over wood in great detail. i want to paint the frame deep pink, from its currently brown/gold colour. i would like to keep the plaster if possible. which type of paint would be suitable? Could i just go with plain old acrylic paint? or should i get some professional paint? Thanks!
Acrylic paint and plaster are extremely forgiving; you can paint and repaint to your heart's content.
Plaster dissolves in water; paint that is still wet can be wiped off with a damp cloth or sponge but once it begins to dry it's better to leave it and paint over it than try to wash it off.
this site gives some good tips:
