If not, can the glass be removed without damaging a paint label on it?
I have an old 'Passing Eye' mirror assembly in perfect condition except for pitted chrome. The black painted label leaves the words 'Passing Eye' on the mirror.

Can you rechrome a mirror without removing the glass?

Joe,
I don't see how.
To rechome your mirror they first have to strip the old chrome off, fill all pits and then there'sa three part procedure where the mirror is dipped into three different baths. It should be possible to remove it though andput it back. Take it to a good glass shop before the chrome shop.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll see if the glass can be removed. Thanks, Steve.
Yeah, I have a bid in for the glass. The whole assembly is something else I may bid on, but I'm not sure if it's in any better shape than mine. Thanks for the thought, Mark.
