Regular craft enamel and acrylic paints work reasonably well on glass. If you are afraid of the paint washing or chipping off, you can buy diamond sandpaper that will help the paint grip the glass without leaving scratches on the glass, or you can buy a spray.
For a better look, easier application, and amazing results, there are craft paints designed specifically for glass application. These paints have a consistency designed for easy application and a range of translucency from clear to completely opaque. They also have varying textures available, to closely resemble actual stained glass.
Hobby stores like Michaels
Arts & Crafts carry a multitude of glass paint
colors and other product to help in application and durability. Look for glass paint brands from Decoart®,
Martha Stewart Craftsâ„¢
and Americana®.

How do you get paint off your mirror?
If you are removing drips, it is fairly straight forward. Most hardware stores carry a little something called a paint scraper. It is a metal (or plastic) handle with a single edged razor in it. Gently slide the blade (at a flat angle) along the surface of the glass of the mirror and scrape of the drips.If you have completely covered the mirror with chalkboard paint, my suggestion is to buy another mirror. The time, effort, and frustration of removing that much paint is not worth what it will cost for the mirror.

Can mirrors be painted?
Yes, mirrors can be painted, but it is not recommended. The reflective surface of a mirror is typically made of a thin layer of metal, such as aluminum or silver, which allows light to be reflected.

What type of glass is on a mirror?
You can use any kind of glass to make a mirror - clear or colored, soda-lime or borosilicate, float glass or blown glass. Most mirrors are made out of float glass (standard window glass) coated with a layer of silver. The silver is protected by a layer of paint. Some manufacturers add a layer of copper between the silver and the paint to protect the silver from tarnishing. White metals like silver and aluminum reflect all the colors of light. You can also make a mirror with other metals, such as gold, copper or lead sulfide. Some telescopes and dental mirror are made with a layer of aluminum "sputtered" onto the front of the glass. You can see yourself in a mirror because the light rays that bounce off your face (or any object) bounce back to your eye when they hit the layer of metal instead of passing through as they do with transparent glass.
