Unless this mirror has a really odd ball shape, it will probably be
cheaper to replace the mirror than to have it re-silvered. I had a
replacement made for my Cobra's rear view mirror at a glass shop a few
years back. The shop didn't have mirror stock of the correct thickness
so I bought one of those sun visor clip-on mirrors at an auto parts
store for about $3 and had the glass shop cut it to the correct shape
using my old mirror as a pattern. It took all of 5 minutes. The shop
didn't even charge me for the labor. You could even do it yourself with
a glass cutter and a sanding disk if you're good at that sort of thing.
I'm not.
