60" painted aluminum?

Postby Joe Staller » Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:02 pm

First time poster---6 month lurker.

I would like to sheath by 5X9 Benroy in white aluminum sheet. (Live in Arizona, want to reflect that heat away, and have low maintenance.) I can find 4' wide painted material locally, but have not found anything wider. I'm willing to mail order. SAF has told me that they don't offer painted material any wider than 48" either.

Does anyone have a source for 60" white aluminum wheet?

Thanks,
Joe

Here is a place I found on the net when I started building. I don't know anything about them so can't make a recommendation one way or the other.

You might try calling around to some of the local truck/trailer repair shops. They may have white on a 103" coil and they can cut off what you want. I've bought it from Fruehauf before like that, however it was just mill finish, but I know it's out there in white also. Too many white sided trailers on the road for it not to be. Just an idea. Doug

Try Glendale Steel 59th and Bethany Home Road. Ask for their sign aluminum.

If you have any race car shops or racers around they might be able to tell you where you can find it, modifieds and late models (circle track) cars have bodies made out of aluminum sheet.
If I could shut my brain off, I could save myself alot of time, money and effort.
