Need ideas on how to repair Sega hologram parabolic mirror

I have already contacted a local company with lower prices. The reflective part is not on both sides. That would needlessly almost double the cost.

You would use the existing one TO MAKE A MOLD, not AS A MOLD. I've seen car guys make custom parts for their audio systems this way. IIRC, Stingray has mentioned in the past knowing how to do it. Try asking him.

This is pretty far out of my league. You could probably make one that looks cosmeticly like the old one, but I have no idea if you could really get the shape precise enough for it to actually work. Then there's the question of the reflective coating. I'm not at all sure how you would go about replicating that.

ChadTower:
Who says it has to be a coating? If he actually made the fiberglass black, then put something like an acrylic spray on it, that may work. It at least wouldn't have to cost $500 to find out.
TravistyOJ:
Yeah i mean i wish i really knew what the stuff was, i mean an acrylic spray could work, but i dont know if it would be reflective enough.
ChadTower:
It wouldn't be the spray that did it, it would be whatever is underneath. The spray would just be for sealing it without affecting reflectivity.
