Yes, mirrors can be painted, but it is not recommended. The reflective surface of a mirror is typically made of a thin layer of metal, such as aluminum or silver, which allows light to be reflected. Painting over this reflective surface can degrade the mirror's reflective properties and result in a distorted or cloudy reflection. It is best to use specialized mirror paint or coatings if you want to change the appearance of a mirror.

As mirrors are a form of reflective glass, you can paint on mirrors just as you can paint on glass or walls or any other kind of surfaces. It is not possible however to paint a perfectly reflective surface onto a pain of glass or material.
