I'm looking at doing some car body panels which I'd normally lay up with 1x200g / 3mm soric / 1x200g.  Thought I might look into other cores as the general consensus is that soric can be a little heavy.  The reverse side finish is also quite poor as the cells show through quite strongly.  I've been considering core cork as an option as it looks pretty smooth on both sides.  For those that have used it can I ask id 1x200g would be enough of a skin with this core?   Any others I should consider?

Thanks in advance for the input folks.

Depends on if you need much compression strength. Corecork is great, but it does have lower strength in compression than other cores. If providing stiffness is all you need, then 1 layer of 200 works fine. 

Also be aware that it does print some. But because it doesn't have a regular pattern like Soric, it isn't as noticeable, it just makes the surface look a bit less 'flat'. The reverse side is normally very flat, provided you don't get any bag creases etc.
