Re: [ATM] 4.5" mirror

[Bill Prewitt <bprewitt@neo.rr.com>]

I've had good luck with both Spectrum coatings in Florida and HL 
Clausing in Chicago.

Spectrum lists down to 6" for $60 - worth a call or a FAX to see if the 
go smaller. You want PAL (Protected Aluminum)

Clausing doesn't show any prices, but they've been reasonable in the 
past.... you want Beral
http://www.clausing.com/

Are you sure it needs coating - might just be dusty.
Here's an unlinked page I did on no-touch dust removal with Blue-Spray
http://www.astrocaver.com/blue_clean.html

If it isn't gled down, you can clean it with a cotton ball, distilled 
water, joy detergent, and an alcohol rinse.
