Re-silvering a mirror

[Tom in SW VA]

Does anyone know of an individual or company that re-silvers a rear view mirror? Thanks

In 2010 I had several mirrors re-silvered at Ron's Corner, 27169 State Hwy 6, Winston, Mo 64689, and was satisfied. Call 660-749-5473 and talk to Ron - for up to date info. He did educate me to realize that an original model A mirror glass will often have some permanent stains - and these can still be visible with new silver --- so I sent him extra original mirrors so that after he stripped them he would re-silver the best looking glass. There is some luck on how good your old mirror glass turns out to be. John

Here's a guy that does the Model A mirrors like original. He came to our club a couple times to talk about silvering.

I have taken a couple rear view mirrors to my local paint and glass company and they did a really nice job.

Call your local chrome shop. They will tell you they don't do chrome and suggest another local company.

I've used Frank Wright Glass near Detroit and had good results on two original Model A Ford mirrors. The cost was about $45.00 to $50.00
