Reflectors *the final cut*

[Guy Grotke]

Rox: if i had a spherical surface, what could i do to make it like a mirror?

If it is made from metal, then you can get it silver plated. The same places that plate silverware, teapots, etc. will plate almost any metal object for you. Tell them you want a bright mirror finish, so they don't make it a matte finish. This kind of silver plate can be 98% reflective. It just costs more than aluminum.

It may cost you more than just buying a glass reflector! Maybe ace has one for you?

Creo que esta: "chapado de plata" en Espaniol.

Almost any large city has shops that do metal plating. The most common is chrome plating, for automobile restoration. If you can find a shop that does chrome plating, you can call them to ask if they also do silver. If not, then they can tell you where to go.

Fancy restaraunts and hotels that use silverware, get it replated when it starts to look worn. You could ask the manager of such a restaraunt where they get their silver replated. Or maybe just look in a local telephone directory.
