Spry paint, antique mirror finish. what kind of paint? Sign In/Join

I have seen on serveral shows where they have used what I would call opalescent type of paint. It looks like an antiqued mirror when it is done. Does anyone know where I can get it? Should come as a spray paint.

Check with one of the craft stores, like Hobby Lobby or Michael's Crafts?

Or Google search: spray paint to antique a mirror?

No, that is not it either. It looks like a bad finish on a mirror when it is done. I have seen Sabrina use it on her shows getting a house ready to sell. It makes me mad when I can't find the products they talk about using.

So interesting. Might also check with a pro paint store?

I have gotten rid of the bad finish on old mirrors several times. By using paint stripper to remove the silver, and placing a new/mirror behind the old beveled glass.
Personal preference...but I really despise fogged, damaged looking mirrors.
