Anyone had experience using metalization on glass (mirror)

Any data on conductivity etc?

The best quality second-surface mirrors are coated with silver, followed by
copper plating and a coat of paint.  Those should be pretty good if you can

Poorer ones have aluminum coatings around 2-3 nm thick and no plating.
