GRP sheets - where from? Also CNC cutting service?

Post by kink »

I am after some GRP sheets in a compact (radio tray) size. However the ones I have seen on Ebay are the wrong colour. They are all too brown or too sickly yellow / green. What I am after is a more dusty grey / white / green. Kind of like sand blasted / frosted glass colour.

Secondly does anyone on here offer a CNC cutting service of GRP. If not no worries, I'll go old school with my files...


If anyone can help that would be awesome :mrgreen:

I can offer cnc cutting service. No idea where to buy grp though. I can find carbon fiber plate easily,, but cannot find fiberglass, or any other plate composite. If you can email details, and or drawings to me, I can likely produce them,, in carbon fiber....Pm if you would like to discuss.

Are you thinking of g10 (also known as garolite, or fr4)? Fyberlyte might have something also and they are located in North Yorkshire

If you are looking for the specific G10 used in used by the car manufacturers, you can buy it from Mardave and from Kamtec. Kamtec can also cut the G10 for you.
