When you get the price you may want to have a glass shop cut you a new one from stock.

I wouldn't think that would be a problem so you might ask. It would be a good data point to have when the other numbers start coming in.

By chance, have you found a glass shop that can cut a mirror out of the same thickness as original?? That as been my issue.

Re: Re-Silver A Rear-View

Why make new ones when original mirrors are not that hard to find?

Another issue using old glass is that thru the years the glass becomes
Stained/etched/discolored etc to where such shows thru new silver

Re: Re-Silver A Rear-View

I recently had Alchemy Mirror Resilvering do one for a fine point care, they did a good job and it came out really nice. It was under $50. Steve mentions the link on post #11 and that is pulled from our "sticky's" at the top of our forum. I sent them pictures of what I had first and they were able to assess whether it would come out good or not, before I sent it to them.
