How do I make a see-through reflective visor like space suits?

I've seen a lot of motorcycle visors that are a material that I would like but I'm trying to create a helmet that covers my whole face for a costume. I've been told cutting small strips of automotive tint won't work. I've also discovered that space suits use and electroplating process to deposit gold onto the visor, but my material is acrylic. I'd like to know how one would create a mirrored surface with any technique or even places that do that process for you. This is the helmet in question.

Answer:

both are pretty cool. i would take the first one
In case of chemical spills, explosions, or splatter. Plus glass gets broken all the time in labs. Even if you're not currently working with something dangerous, something in the lab might get knocked over, or someone else in the lab might cause an accident.
To answer your question tree resin is not the same as sap. Sap is actually the sugars in the phloem cells of a woody tree. Resin is a type of liquid that is stored in outer cells of a tree that when broken release the resin to clog the hole created. It is very analogous to the way we heal with scabs.
