How do you paint a piece of glass to make a mirror the easy way?

I found a couple of craft sites that had formulas using a bunch of chemicals, but does anyone know any simpler ways… like ready to use paint or something?

   try painting the glass with glass silver paint. You can buy paint for paint.

   the back side of mirrors are made of real silver so paint may not work at all – I would try a chrome spray paint as it would offer some reflective quality – good luck
