Looking for black plastic paneling

Shadowman0000 · 09-October-03, 11:06 AM

Hey guys I need to get some black plastic paneling, fairly stiff and about 1/8" thick to flush mount one of my components. Ive looked in Home Dumpot and on the web and cant find anything. Ill use plexi if i have to, but id really rather get something not as shiny. Any ideas?

How about this from Parts Express. It has a textured finish, so it won't be too shiny...

BTW, they have a bunch of other neato modding stuff too, seems we share a lot of gound with the Car Audioheads...

I have one right down the street from me...I love that store! The scrap pieces are the way to go for side/top windows, very cheap prices.

Well I called TAP Plastics... apparently they do not have a box big enough to ship a peice of plastic 1' x 2'. I almost fell on the floor when the girl told me that.

BTW I also went back to home Dumpot and looked at the mixing tubs... they'd be perfect except for the ribbing on the back and corresponding marks on the front. Oh well

Also try McMaster-Carr. No promises, but they do seem to have a lot of plastic sheet stuff (including 3/4" bulletproof polycarbonate *eg*).

They've also got sheets of thin aluminum for a semi-reasonable price, for those interested.
