Hi Ethan for a traditional tinted look you could consider: Plastruct Smoke Grey Mirror Sheet

Alternatively, you could consider a silver mirrored tint which might be a cool look as well: Plastruct Silver Mirrored Sheet

Best of luck with your project and all the best over the holidays.

I ended up going with Blue Tinted material. It looks similar to a Plant at work.

89cxsport thank you for posting the picture flor me. It is a poor picture because it was one I trying to upload because as you can see I have no idea how to. Would it be possible for you to explain to me what I am doing wrong so I can post some pictures that are more viewable. Again thanks for the post of the picture for me.


If you take the 'share' link they give you off a photo on flicker, hit the 'image' button on the message reply window, and paste that address between the two tags. Just make sure there's no space between the tag and the address. It should work that way.

Great stuff. Just a short note on the LED's. If they are too bright you can rub some light sand paper over them to give a diffused light or even paint over them in any colour you want the get the right effect. They don't put out very much heat at the light.

Ramp up to the material bins.


I am thinking of possibly incorporating this into my plant. I think it is pretty slick. It is an LED set-up to mimic arc welding.

Wow, everything looks stunning! Those lights and welder are awesome! Take some of that blue tinted plastic and some round tube and make a square flash shield to put near the welder.

I'm liking the progress so far Ethan on the asphalt plant. Be sure to get a nice aerial or birds eye view of the plant when you are finished. I also hope you have a large fleet of dump trucks to keep the plant busy.

Mike, I do need more dump trucks to keep the plant busy, hopefully First gear gets around to making some more.

The conveyors are up and running.
