Look! Red Sliding Closet Doors

If you're looking for an alternative to mirrored sliding closet doors, check out these sleek red doors from Robeplan. It seems like it would be fairly simple to mimic this look without paying high dollar...Anyone have any suggestions on how to pull this off?

Maybe the frosted glass in IKEA's STORDAL doors could be backpainted? Or cover the glass from the front with colored film or paper...

How about red panel curtains fixed to the sliding glass doors?

I suspect those are merely sheets of colored acrylic, e.g., Acrylite, set into an extruded aluminum framing system. I know they are out there- I have 9-ft tall sliders like this in my bathroom. Any glazing contractor should be able to source this.

What about cling vinyl behind glass doors? Or colored vellum? I'm not sure if it comes that big though... I love the red doors though...
