Hello All ...

Does anyone know what type of place might do or be able to apply a mirror coating to say something like a helmet visor ?

The Tomcat demo guys had some pretty cool visors.

I think they had some contacts within Oakley who anodized the visors for the teams.

Theres a guy who goes by "thumper" on Warbird Aero Press who might be able to help.

I've been chasing them myself but they are wicked expensive.

flight suits might be able to fix you up with their supplier, if its the same visor its probably cheeper to buy a new one or find a local optical lab.
