mirror tints

Postby baker » Thu Feb 02, 2006 5:50 pm

does anyone know where to buy mirror tints?

My mate is doing a custom sound install and wants to mirror tint some perspex, but beacuse its illigal, none of the standard retailers seem to sell it (repco, super cheap etc.).

does anyone know where to get it? any help would be much appriciated.

cheers

Try some of the guys that do tinting on house windows etc.

I know for a fact that some of them have mirror tint for privacy on houses

blue iridium mate :twisted:

looks like mirror but is great during the day and night. at night everything looks slightly orange but cuts all the glare off the headlights.

My helmet came with a clear one, luckily they had mirror ones, well that blue one that shines different shades. Looks great!
