Try to get a blade underneath the white mirror adhesive and slice it off, then clean it with spirits or whatever takes it off (I would start with everbuild wonder wipes). If you've done all that quite carefully you should end up with a paintable surface.

First choice from my toolbox would be a 6" t bar scraper.

Thanks, I’ve been meaning to get something like that for a while - I’ve seen you recommend it for other jobs too.

I've not had call to use mine for a while, I've been avoiding the kind of jobs that need it!

There are more portable options :-

Would take longer but it's easy to keep one in your pocket when you're decorating and the replacement blades are cheap and plentiful.
