    Just found this site. They produce very thin carbon laminates that can be used structurally or decoratively as well as thicker material -all finished to a high, clear gloss on one side. Very interesting possibilities. This can be done fairly simply using sheet window glass but for those not interested in doing it yourself these finished sheets may be an answer. They're pretty expensive though you can get small quantities.

    Other Good Carbon fiber Panel sources

    Dragonplate does offer decent carbon fiber panels, but they are hella expensive. I found a much better manufacturer - Protech Composites. They have superior carbon sheets, really the best I have ever come across (and yes, i have seen many types).

    Their store is at www.protechcomposite.com

    They are responsive too and answer the phone if you call (how novel)

    Truth Be Known

    FYI.

    mdbrandt1 is misrepresenting himself as a consumer, when in fact, he is the owner of Protech Composites. His statements are biased and not to be trusted.

    His implications that DragonPlate is unresponsive and does not answer the phone are completely untrue.

    Not too cool on his part. The weird part is there is no "contact us" with address and phone number on the protech website (on the page/link provided).

    Kind of funny really.:D


    EDIT:
    Is ALETHEIA the owner of Dragonplate?

    I saw that after clicking around, maybe I should have posted it.

    It seems like an old site and new site cross linked together. My wife has been helping me with my own website, I have an idea of what a project it is and how long it may take, you have my understanding.

    I don't think that comment was directed at Dragon or that they are unresponsive, can't comment either way. I'm sure they are a decent company. Infered compositeinvisions. They don't answer the phone and hard to get them to call back. My buddy had to wait 7 weeks for a small order and couldn't get any delivery info....for what its worth.
