Rust-Oleum Mirror Effect Spray

Used this on some vases to make them into DIY mercury glass candle holders for flameless votive candles. I covered the outside of the vase in painters tape, stayed multiple layers on the inside until there was solid coverage, let dry, then blotted the inside very lightly with a paper towel dipped in white vinegar, and let dry again. You have to be careful - the vinegar is powerful! - but it works great. Just go easy and don’t rush the drying.

I rent a studio cottage and share the land with my landlord and they are always wanting more privacy and of course I always like my privacy too so, I bought some old single pane windows and I sprayed the mirror finish on the clear glass and then I sprayed black over the back of it. I didn't do very good on the first window It ran quite a bit and it looks obvious but, it also creates kind of a nice old antique patina to it. The other windows turn out better but, the mirror is not a vibrant mirror like you would have in your bathroom but it does give an old look to it.

It had been quite some time since I had to have a mirror custom cut to size. Much to my dismay, it's hard to find a local source in my area that doesn't cost a fortune. I had an early 1900s Eastlake style mirror frame. The dimension of the mirror insert was roughly 12x20. I obtained a cheap piece of plain glass cut to size at the local hardware store. Environmental conditions and technique is everything in using this product. To begin with, the glass must be meticulously clean. Any smudge of grease, a fingerprint, or anything at all will seriously degrade the result you are trying to obtain. I used glass cleaner, acetone, and 90% alcohol to clean and degrease the glass. This is not overkill. I worked in the garage with open doors for cross ventilation. The temperature was approximately 75° and the humidity was moderate. Per the product directions, I applied five light coats to the glass. After allowing it to fully dry for a few hours I checked the results. I was disappointed to see that certain areas of the mirror looked cloudy and not as reflective. I finally noticed that when I held the mirror up to light looking through it from behind, the "bad" areas of the mirror had a small amount of see-through. I reapplied the mirror paint for two additional coats being sure that the see-through areas were covered. When it was said and done, I had used the whole can for the 20x12. I have to say I was quite happy with the results. I would say it produced a very good mirror. Did it produce an absolute perfect mirror with no visible artifacts? No. But very few people would notice that. In the end I got what I wanted and I'm happy with the product. The coverage is not that great, so just be prepared for that.

We redid an antique window pane and used this on the back. It was amazing. The mirror effect is very reflective and clear. Amazing. Use in well ventilated area.

Tiny can and wasn't very effective. Looked more like a super shiny silver.

I painted a gazing ball that had seen better days. It looks fantastic.

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 recently changed up a small bathroom. Space is limited and I needed to keep the wall cabinet for storage but it was clear glass and I didn't like that you could see everything in it. I saw a video on this product and how to make it look vintage. It was the perfect solution.
