Paint the entire mirror frame and make sure to properly cover any detailing or crevices. Take your time while using the chalk paint to ensure that the frame is fully covered. You could use standard chalk paint and a brush but given how small a surface mirror frames usually are spray chalk paint works just as well and is much faster.
