What type of paint did you use and is it flat or glazed finish? Just curious...

Glossy Engine Enamel -- we roughened the mirrored surface beforehand. I'm about to put the assembly back together right now. The project should be done in less than 2 hours.

The mirrored surface is too slick for paint, so before the primer went on, we used some sandpaper to give it a paint friendly texture.
