How do I replicate the finish on these T tops

[Nick Winter]

Some of you may know that the T tops on Trans Am's have a mirrored tint to them, almost like a pair of mirrored sun glasses, I'm wondering how to replicate this in scale.

I appreciate the help, I'm sort of at a stand-still till I get the T Tops Figured out.

Are you starting with clear parts, or are they already smoked? If they're clear the best thing I can suggest is getting a can of Nightshades from your local auto parts store. Don't know how well you'd get the mirrored effect cuz I've never used the stuff, YET.

[Nick Winter]

Yes, sorry, the parts I'm starting with are clear.

Find a local place that does window tinting and ask them if you can buy one square foot of mirrored tint. They might just give it to you if the have some scraps laying around but it shouldn't cost more than a few bucks.
