I know I may not be the world's least handiest man when it comes to DIY, but I'm in the running.

I know I may not be the world's least handiest man when it comes to DIY, but I'm in the running.
Regardless: I've had these old mirrors in storage for many years, and have finally decided to try and upcycle them. The plan is to sand, clean, prime and paint the frames a glossy piano black.
Will it work? Will it look shit? Is my brain writing cheques that my body and skills can't cash? Doesn't really matter, because they were just for the tip otherwise. Wish me luck, I'm going in.

@essjax Good project!

We are primed and ready
... and off for a pub lunch while it dries.

Wait. Am I going to paint these after a couple of pints?
🤔
A couple of beers improves my pool game, maybe it'll be the same for painting.
