In reply to Kathy Honore. Yes, you can probably use the stripper to remove the paint and start fresh there.

Very simple but when i wiped all stripper off i think i left smudge marks on it which showed after i sprayed metallic paint on it. You think i can add more stripper in those areas and start over. Wiping it really clean before applying final paint.

Absolutely agree, the best and most beautifully creative antique mirror tutorial I've found. So much better than some of the YouTube videos. Thank you so much!

In reply to Beth. Hi Beth,That is a good question! I'm sorry, I cannot say definitively because I'm completely unfamiliar with that type of mirror. Theoretically, yes - the acid should remove the backing the same way it did for my old bathroom mirror. My suggestion is to send them a link to this tutorial and ask their customer service. They would know their product best and confirm if you could age this mirror.

Hello!Your mirrors look great. I am thinking of doing this for a theatre production I am working on.Do you think it would work with this material?https://shop.neplastics.co.uk/Search-Results/2630 it's called mirrored HIPS and is advised for theatrical uses because it's light.It has a plastic backing on it which I think is what you emphasise as being important.Let me know what you think ! 🙂
