This is my correct intention and mentioned re-silver in my OP by mistake. The process I'd like to see is a glass coated vapor deposited aluminum coating, done by UVIRA in WA. The UVIRA technique provides a very high reflective surface with the polished aluminum and then seals it with a glass layer to prevent tarnishing (silver plating tarnishes over time). However, the prerequisite for deposited aluminum coating is a polished nickel plated surface, hence my search for a nickel plater :-). I was pleasantly surprised how much UVIRA quoted for aluminum coating the H-1 reflectors ($150 for the four reflectors). Worst case is to do the nickel plating myself with the Caswell kit and have UVIRA do the aluminum deposit coating.Quote:
