![]() ![]() You can also use acrylic craft paints too if that is what you have on hand. I think this color is perfect for the blue patina look.Ĭhalk paints also work great with this tutorial. Once that was fully dry I began painting a slightly watered-down mix of French Eggshell (linked above) over the copper with a paintbrush. It’s the perfect color for this and looks like real metal underneath. Here it is with the newly painted copper base coat color. You can see that project here > Old Metal Makeover with Faux Patina Finish This is a great base and the same one I used for one of my favorite patina’d projects. So I took it outside and spray-painted over the gold with the Sparkling Canyon (copper-colored) paint. I pulled it out for today’s project and decided to create a faux copper patina with it instead. I realized that was not what I wanted to do with it but wasn’t sure just what so set it to the side. I had taken it down, taped it up to protect the mirror, and spray-painted it gold. So, I had begun this makeover months ago. Which means I had an extra white mirror on my hands and well, blah. White is great and was a nice, new addition to the first bath remodel we did years ago in there. The white framed mirror needed a new look. The mirror that was in there (pictured below) was replaced by a new mirror. Did you miss it? If so, you can catch the full remodel, even painting the tile floor, here. If you remember, we recently finished our hall bath update/remodel. Do you have any projects like that? I bet you do! Well, when I realized that our “Trash to Treasure” was only a few days away and I didn’t have anything remotely ready, I pulled this one out and decided to make it pretty! It was certainly almost in the trash pile or at least the “I’ve forgotten all about you” pile! ha! I started going in one direction with it and…stopped. I started this project a while back but never finished it.
