Good morning
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a way to repair a scratch in a mirror? The scratch is approx 5 inches long and very thin. I appreciate any help.
Thank you
Have a Great day

If you can feel the scratch by running your finger nail over it, it's not removable. If you don't feel it, some glass shops have the proper equipment to remove it.

The scratch is on the back side of the mirror. It seems as if the paint or whatever is on the backof the mirror has a scratch in it. Do they sell that paint any where?
Thank you
Have a great day

It actually is silver with a protective paint over it. Sorry again....no way to fix it.

Thanks for your help johnam.I guess the only other choice would be to get it cut down so the scratch will be gone. I appreciate your time.
Have a great day.
