Custom mirror coating?

[regional_manager]

Anyone know of a lab that does custom mirror coatings? For instance if I were to send in a lens, could they match the color?

Mirror coatings are very much different than tinting a lens . First of all a Coating Lab obtains the mirror color recepie from the AR equipment manufacturer ,there is a price for each mirror color recepie or its variations.The coating lab can make some color variations depending on the base color of the treated lens .The coating equipment works with a batch of lenses all with the same color or lens treatment , therefore a special color match can be done but is extremely expensive for the lab to onely make one pair of lenses.

There are some good coating labs that specialize in mirror coatings and have an extensive mirror color menu to choose from .
