I used a faux wood contact paper on the back of the mirror. I then spraypainted the contact paper white. I used the faux wood style because it seemed slightly more durable than just the white. It held up well under the sandblaster. I adhered the contact paper to the back of the mirror. You can do this by putting the contact paper on the front. However, if you have a lot of little lines, all these lines will show up as a double image when you look at the mirror. So, I put the design on the back of the mirror. This did mean I had to sandblast a little longer than if I’d put it on the front. The sand has to cut through the reflective surface on the back of the mirror. I like the lack of double lines better, though.
