Cool site Guy.

If this stuff was UV resistant you could do some funky looking tears with it.

Guy,

I opened their PFD catalog "Killer Cans". Amazing what's coming out of spray cans these days.

Thanks Guy, there is definitely some cool stuff on there!

Dear Chaotica,

Their stuff is UV Resistant. A large number of the top motorcycle artists use their stuff. That is how I found out about them more than a year ago. I have posted about them before but thought I should post specifically today because of the copper question.


One of their products that is really great is the soft feel texture. It really is amazing. It is actually a translucent coat over whatever color you use.

I didn't mean the paint, I was talking about the FX Sheeting. Click the link, it's somewhat like Formica but it's plastic with a Lexan outer coating.

max width appears to be 36".... and I think a lot has to be ordered...

Wonder if there is any other 4x8 materials that could be used instead of aluminum..... like that stuff they used to used in cheap motel showers.

Aaron , I know copper would be cool ! If you would like to see what the finish would be like go to this site www.kirkhammotorsports.com , this is aguy who is making car bodies out of copper . A 40 ford and Cobra GTs. This guy would make Chip Foose proud . He also does them in aluminum. They are bad to the bone . Kerry Don't know how to trun the name blue . If someone could do it , it would be appricated .

OH Geesh! Now I want one too. I was all over the copper idea.

Just kind of thinking out loud. I have a 8 foot TD built using Desert Teardrop plans, kind of been contemplating a 10 footer.

Here's what I would use:

Being steel it is a little heavy, but the finish is really nice. Here's a picture of it on a roof. It comes in flat 4x8 sheets and the roofers roll the creases into it on site.
