Looking for large mirrors or black acrylic sheets with shiny surface

[the_digital_dentist]

Does anyone have a source for large, closet-door size mirrors, flawed is OK, or black plastic sheet with a glossy surface?  I would like enough of either of these materials to build a small room with space for a person and chair inside.  Did I forget to say cheap?  Yes, I'd like to find a CHEAP source of these materials.

As an alternative, metalized plastic film in large quantities might be acceptable if I can come up with a frame to stretch it over...

Thanks!

So you are building an infinity-room?

I have a few 2'x2' squares of mirrored acrylic I could donate to a good cause. Just glue them to plywood or something to support them.

Looks like I have about 25 of them. That's 100 square feet. 

If you are interested, call me

Yes, a variation on that idea.  I'm in the planning stages now- just trying to price out the cost of mirrors and some audio effects to go with the whole thing.

I'm thinking that a triangular space would work and maybe reduce cost.  I'll have to model the thing in POV-ray and try rendering it to see what the effect of a different number of walls would look like. 

Commercial stuff is pretty pricey, so I may just have to watch Craig's list for a few months and buy mirrors piece-meal until I have enough material.

I was thinking some of those closet doors would be good if I can find them cheaply, or maybe hit a store fixtures sale when a place is going out of business.
