Default Painting sp00m mirrors - need help pulling apart

Bought a set of knock off spoon mirrors and i'm planning on painting them with SEM trim black paint. I've got two question: how do I pull the glass out and is there any other paint anyone would recommend as opposed to SEM? remember this is a aerosol job so a paint gun product isn't an option.

You can just mask off the mirror, it's what i did. Remember prep prep prep for a long-lasting good looking paint job.

I am by no means an experienced painter. Any suggestions or tips for prepping? I had planned to sand - clean - adhesion promoter - paint. Anything you would add to this?

Nope, that sounds about right, if you want it to look perfect you can try to wet-sand and clear it.
