(Group interest?) Mirror resilvering
I should clarify....
I didn't resilver my mirrors, I spent money on junkyard replacements. I
have all my old ones in the basement. The quality will be as good as
new, the system completely strips off the backing paint and old silver
and gets to bare glass. Then I polish the glass, treat (flux) it so the
silver adheres to it, resilver it (with real silver, just like the
original), and apply the backing paints so the silver doesn't oxidize.
As long as the backing paints don't fail they should last forever.
I'm doing a couple customers mirrors on Monday (actually a 16x24 beveled
edge and a rear view from a '67 El Camino that a guy is restoring), I'll
take pics and share them so everyone can see.
