| Hi everyone...I'm a new and I'm loving it...
I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried or heard of painting a mirror to make it look like a transparent stain where you can still see the reflection of the mirror through the paint? Thanks so much. Looking forward to sharing ideas Anna |

| Welcome to the forum Annabell40, so glad to have you join in on the fun. You'll meet some wonderful and friendly folks here who are willing to help out with a project if they can. I've never heard of what you're talking about so I copied your part which said "painting a mirror to make it look like a transparent stain" and pasted it to the web browser line. Several sites came up and I chose this one to look at: (copy and paste) p://www.essortment.com/hobbies/doityourselfh_sxcb.htm I wonder if this is what you're looking for? If not, you can do the same as I did cause there were several sites which popped up. In one of the mags I get there is an antique stained mirror and I wonder if this is how they did it. It sells for over $100 and looks really nice. Sure hope if you do this project, you'll share pics with us. We love pics in the forum! Sal |

| Great idea thanks. We will see what I can do with this. I saw these beautiful huge floor mirrors in South Beach that to me looked like they had been sprayed with some type of transparent pink paint. I see that you can order them online but, they are pricey and it takes all the fun out of doing it myself. :) |
