Im trying to see whats out there for a colored carbon fiber fabric which I know there is plenty of, but i also want the fabric to have some kind of a colored orange chrome weave in it too. An example would be the "Reflections Series" of fabrics from Composite Envisions. I included a picture of one of their fabrics for reference on what im looking for. The closest ive found is what I posted in the picture, but that one unfortunately has a shiny gold weave in it. Id love to find a fabric just like this, but with a chromed orange type of weave in it. If anyone knows of anything that might be close, or you guys know of some other cool carbon fabrics with an out of the ordinary (preferably shiny) orange color to it, please post up some info on where i can find it, and if you have time, a picture. THANK YOU!! Attachments THIS859-reflections-carbon-aramid-gold-orange.jpg (613 views, 304.00 KB) Tags color fabric orange

Can't say I've seen any chromed orange fabric before though, bronze would be the closest I've seen. Edited 8 Years Ago by Hanaldo

The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)

Fasta- your correct that alumized fiberglass might give me more of a look that im aiming for, but i still want to have that carbon fiber in it. Ill keep it in mind, but still gonna continue to look around. Hanaldo- correct. Matthieu- i checked out the link for the fabric you posted. Looks pretty good. Ive been on that site before. Id still like to try to find something with more of a chromelike orange weave to it. I have feeling that i may have to use one of the fabrics that weve already talked about because what I want just doesnt seem to be out there. Its out there for other colors such as blue, green, red, but just not orange.. Also Matthieu- Like I said, ive never done this before. I am planning to just do the wet lay, NOT a vacuum process. I have seen your video where you covered the lamp, but if you have any other videos, chats, or any other kind of DIYs out there that could help me with materials to use, tips, etc.,, can you send them my way?? Id really appreciate it. If emailing it is easier for you rather than posting on here you can send it to my email. deshong10@gmail.com. If anyone else sees anything interesting as far as fabrics, send it! Thanks guys. Tags fabric orange

Would depend on what you would like to make and what process you would like to use, then I might be able to give you some more info, or all the other members as well Matthieu Libeert Founder MAT2 Composites X Sports website: www.mat2composites.com
