ramy 3 Posted January 27, 2011 Grumpysod, Is it correct to assume you applied the paint before you removed the template? I tried it afterwards and then it dawned on me thats what you did or you have a very steady hand :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grumpysod 1 Posted January 27, 2011 hi Ramy, it does not matter, because the sand blasting & painting are done on the back of the mirror, then the backing board is fixed. if you want to be precise you can paint before removal of stencil, but if you are putting a backing board on it will not matter Grumpy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramy 3 Posted January 27, 2011 ahhhh.... I was doing the front of the mirror(blasting and painting). Thanks for clearing that up for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeJaysPlace 476 Posted March 14, 2011 grumpy? What did you use in your sandblaster that worked best for you? was it the white powder or did you use sand? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
