I'll have to figure out what I need to charge to do this... but for you DIY guys if you want some pre-cut anodized aluminum reflector you could get WAY more out of those fixtures you're working on... I've already sheared my sheet down to 24" squares, but if you want something that size or smaller I can probably help you out.
For these smaller rigs that use just one light in a halogen housing you could easily bend a parabolic to slip behind that bulb... all I need from you is the measurements of the piece when flat. If you want to calculate that then just use a piece of paper to figure out what you need.
I'll let you guys have this stuff for just a little over cost... how about .05 per square inch... so a 12" x 12" piece will be $7.20... maybe this won't work out because I can't leave myself with odd pieces that I can't use... but I THINK this could work okay... most of the reflectors you guys need should be about the same size... and for these halogen turned flo fixtures I think you'll need pieces that are about 5 x 8... so only $2 per reflector.
Anyway... this offer may not be permanent, but I'm gonna' put this out there and see if anybody wants to try out some high-end reflector. If you want a larger amount then I can give you a volume price... if you want custom bends then I can do that for a buck a bend. Cutting to size is basically no charge unless you think the .50 or whatever over total cost for your piece is "pay" in my mind.
The reflectors I first started with cost me $13 each and they're 22 x 6 or something like that (when flat)... and this stuff is the highest grade, 99% reflectivity anodized aluminum that you can get.
