Hi guys!
just stumbled apon a roll of kevlar that is golden. Not just the normal yellow but like realy golden, 2/2 Twill, realy beautiful. It looks more like the colored glas but the seller told me its Kevlar. Have you guys seen anything like that? Is it legit or just a try to sell some cheep glass as kevlar?
Thanks!

Ok Guys, I´ve got the roll!! The seller wasnt sure how much was on the roll but it looked like it was´nt touched becouse the end of the roll was taped to rapping paper. We weighed it out and came to the same amount that was on the sheet. All together there were 103m² on it. 10m² are already sold and I´m keeping 10 for myself to there are ~80m² for those who want it. Like I already wrote, the stuff is f***ing expensive (Sigmatex sells it for £60/m² (around 85€/m²)) and its hard to get by so I wont be selling it very cheap. The people that know what it is and need/want it will know what its worth.

I´m selling it for 42€/m² and a minimum of 5m² becouse its a bitch to cut. The material is 1m wide so shipping wont cost much in Europe. I have all the infos on the roll incl. roll nr. and all data sheets (from Toyobo (Zylon producer) and Sigmatex (they weave it and destribute it)). Quite important for people who want to make parts for street legal cars/bikes where material data is needed (Germany).


Bit bad pic form my Ipad. There are others in better quality that I posted before!
