In general, painted surfaces should be sanded to a dull finish; however, if you're adhering a mirror, painted surfaces should be sanded down to the original surface and the surface needs to be cleaned and sealed with a primer prior to application. There are very specific instructions which should be followed when using PL 530 on a mirrror and we recommend reviewing the products Technical Data Sheet at www.loctiteproducts.com or calling our team for assistance.
