Pentart Mirror Mist mirror-effect paint, glass or plastic 10 ml

Turn a clear decorative surface into a reflective accent, such as a small panel whose reverse you can reach. Pentart Mirror Mist is solvent-based mirror-effect paint in a pump bottle. You receive one 10 ml bottle of your chosen formula; protective varnish, black acrylic paint and the surface are separate.

Choose the formula for your surface

• Glass - 10 ml: creates a mirror effect on glass, viewed through the untreated front.
• Plastic - 10 ml: for transparent plastic. The glass and plastic formulas are not interchangeable.

Apply to the reverse side

Clean and degrease the surface, then let it dry. Shake the bottle thoroughly and tighten the spray head securely. Spray evenly onto the reverse from about 15 cm. Let the coat dry and repeat if needed. You view the paint layer through the clear material from the front, so an opaque surface will not work for this technique.

Start with an offcut of the same material. Spray a small area, let it dry and look from the front for reflection and gaps. Complete the sample with the same protective coating and optional black backing planned for your project. This also checks the combination of plastic, paint and finish.

Dry, protect and view the result

Allow the paint to dry completely, around three hours, before applying a thin mist of suitable protective varnish. Observe the drying instructions on the label. To emphasise the mirror effect, you can then apply black acrylic paint over the protective varnish, also on the reverse.

This paint is neither a mixing medium nor an etching paste. The reflective layer forms on the back and is viewed from the front. Choose a decorative project and try the complete coating sequence on a sample first; a mirror effect alone does not establish suitability for food contact, dishwashers or outdoor use.

Safe handling

Danger. Highly flammable liquid and vapour. Causes serious eye irritation and may cause drowsiness or dizziness. With the glass formula, repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Work outdoors or with good ventilation, avoid breathing mist and vapour, and wear suitable gloves, protective clothing and eye protection. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames; no smoking. Keep away from children. Store tightly closed, cool and ventilated. Follow the label and local waste-disposal rules.
