Reflector Material?

Anyone know of any local sources for reflective aluminum?

My brother works in an aluminum shop, if you have something your looking for pm me, but be VERY SPECIFIC. I always ask him for stuff and he asks a thousand questions, and by the time I'm don't I am frustrated for asking, I usually have him over to see the project, and ask what he thinks.... then he is a little more helpful. Otherwise I'm not sure he can visualize well.

I was under the misconception that white reflects more light, That's why I used 3" pvc thinwall ripped in half for my reflectors.

I'll get some actual dimensions. I decided last night after I had my cart all loaded up that I didn't want wooden enclosures for the lights and would make something out of Al instead. I'm not 100% sure on size yet, but I'll shoot you a Pm with specifics.

I'm assuming they can be cut to my specs?

I'll submit them and see how much static he gives me.

He's got 5 kids, so his time is limited.

The workst that would happen is that you'd define your measurments and he'd say no, and you'd have to find someone else.

pm when ready.
