How to make a glass door into a mirror.

You ll need a door with one or more panes of glass. The surface on the silver metal itself is not smooth enough to be a mirror. One such project is converting a door into a floor standing or wall mounted mirror. I was skeptical but it worked awesome.

Spray paint can create a glossy reflective surface that gives the effect of a mirror. Once the doors are prepped shake the looking glass can for a good minute or two then evenly apply light coats to half the panes of glass on one door holding the can about 10 from the glass. Three coat the panes with the looking glass paint. Use this technique for easy inexpensive craft projects at home.

Unlike the stick on vinyl strips that mimic molding. And it was so easy. While making a mirror requires a precise silvering process you can make glass look like a mirror with spray paint you can find at craft stores. You will notice the paint immediately starts to dry.

It will be nearly smooth like the dull side of aluminum foil which is not smooth enough for a mirror. If you do not find it on the shelves ask for help in the paint department. Clean the door first and let its age and wear become part. The surface of the glass is perfectly smooth so it will be a perfect mirror.

But i hated to throw perfectly good glass away so i did some research and found a way to turn regular glass into a mirror simply with spray paint. The area is small dark so the bug light is. I thought about having a large mirror cut to replace the glass panel in this old door to make it a floor mirror. Rustoleum and krylon both have spray paint to make glass into mirrors.

But not at my front door. Trim and molding can give a mirror door the same look as mullions or panels in a window frame. Mirrors are an important fixture above dressers vanities and bathroom sinks. Hope this helps judy.
