Rust-Oleum 301494 Specialty Mirror Spray, 6 oz, Silver

Actual Truth in advertising!? I know;"Mirror effects". But. I'm not making a mirror, nor painting glass.. I do a variety of "wall hangers", mantle pieces, executive desk sets. The only glass Ive ever used was for a shadowbox frame. This small example was actually a "practice piece". It's from a keychain I had originally made of red mica epoxy resin .Total game changer. Good ol' school "Rust-Oleum". Still a bargain too5 ⭐'z.

I restored a 100+ YO secretariat and bookcase which had a small beveled mirror in it. The silver was flaking off of the mirror and the cost to repair was unbelievable. This worked great. It doesn’t look perfect, but it looks very good.

I bought this product to repair damaged mirrors in my bathroom and enhance the appearance of the shower drain. However, this paint has strong fumes, so it's important to ventilate the area well.

Wanted to paint my gazing ball. It’s a nice silver. I was metal We will see how it holds up to the weather

I needed chrome/ mirrored finish, and ordered this based on the description and the cap in the picture. Unfortunately, it's a metallic/ shimmery light grey, like a silver car paint. That said, I didn't have time to order something else, so I had to use it on a project for an event. The helmet was supposed to be a mirrored finish, like a Daft Punk helmet, and I didn't quite achieve it. Later I turned a pink desktop fridge into a faux "stainless steel" look, which worked nicely.Coverage is very good, though you need to keep the bottle moving when spraying, or it affects the flake pattern noticeably. Dry time is typical for spray paint.In both cases I sanded the surface with a fine grit, thoroughly wiped clean with isopropyl alcohol, started with a plastic adhesion promoting spray (2 light coats), used a buildable primer (2 light coats) and after using this silver spray (3+ light coats) I applied a clear top coat (3+ light coats). For all layers, I followed instructions on each product by way of dry time between multiple coats. The finish has been very durable, despite harsh conditions and heavy use.If you need a silver-sparkle metallic finish, I highly recommend it. If you're looking for chrome/ mirrored finish, this is not the right product.

Have a small antique wall mirror that was yellowed and blemished. Actual re-silvering involved shipping out of state, and very expensive. So I bought 2 cans of this mirror paint. Practiced on a similar (but not old) piece of glass. Not great but I thought it acceptable. (Saw that the glass cleaner actually showed streaks, so on the old mirror I cleaned it and then wiped the cleaner itself off with a clean wet cloth and dried. No streaks.) BUT, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM is that the paint itself doesn't come out in a nice steady fan. It was an inconsistent, splotchy volume of spray. The first few sprays in a new can was better... but on the actual project I did the first thin coat of spray with the partially used first can, and no matter now many light coats I applied, that first uneven coat was evident. (SO IF YOU DECIDE TO TRY, USE A BRAND-NEW CAN FOR YOUR FIRST COATS - don't use the second half of your practice can for your first coat on the actual project) Yes, I followed directions, shook the cans very well before and during applications, etc. FINAL RESULT: my antique glass is ruined... well, maybe I can remove the paint, but then what? Don't want to try the same product twice. Could have a brand-new mirror cut to fit this unique frame. Will cost over $150, and I won't have the primitive design that someone hand-etched years ago. Disappointed.

I refinish a lot of old vintage vanities, and the mirror on one I was working on had a scratch. I bought this Mirror Effect & sprayed it multiple times and while it wasn’t perfect it blended nicely with the patina. It made a huge difference. Would definitely recommend.

Works great at repairing a mirror’sEasy to use
