Hi everyone. This is my first post on this site. 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!!

Keep in mind that the dry fabrics may appear differently once wet out with resin. I find a lot of the colours end up slightly darker than when they were dry, especially if you've got straight black carbon backing layers behind the surface. 

To be honest, I don't think you will find what you are looking for. I would play around with the orange fabrics that you can get and try some resin tints. You may be able to tint the resin enough to make the orange look a bit more like what you're after, without affecting the appearance of the carbon.

Your right hanaldo. i dont think theres anything out there exactly like what i want.  and very good point about the resin making the colors look a bit darker.  I never stopped to think about that, but makes complete sense since that rule seems to apply to other areas such as putting a clearcoat over a base and it slightly changing color perception.
