Does anyone know if I can get it recoated somewhere in Queensland, and if not where do people recommend I get it done? Also, any ideas what the cost might be?

Thanks very much.

Hi Stephen, Laserdyne on the gold coast do mirror coating, but don't bother with them as they are not interested in small jobs
See this thread for all the info you will need
