Tinting windows to be reflective

Don, that sounds like a worthy experiment..  would you need to put down any kind of clear barrier (Future?)between the Alclad and the clear plastic to keep the lacquer from eating it?  

I've never actually tried this, but have thought of it several times.  Anyone ever tried a very thin airbrushed layer of an appropriate alclad color?  That stuff seems to be somewhat transparent in thin coatings.

If you go to a glass repairer they can point in the direction of some reflective tint vinyl. Or even a sign writer. If you can find the ultra thin stuff it might work. (Kinda feels like crispy wet paper)

Just a thought. 

While I know of no way to reproduce that level of reflective tinting, I have successfully mixed 1 small drop of Tamiya's metallic silver to their clear colors to make HUD panels.  It's far from perfect, but it looks the part.

Interesting question though...
