In a well-ventilated area, apply COLORSHOT White Primer to the mirror frame, butterfly embellishments, and bookends. Allow the primer to dry for at least 10 minutes. Next, apply COLORSHOT Spray Paints to your mirror set. For this project, we used Princess Cut on the butterflies and mirror and Cheers for the bookends.
