[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 64488, member: 3"] Hi, You can get epoxy pigment, e-glass, carbon fibre, kevlar, etc at AMT [url=http://www.amtcomposites.co.za/index.html]http://www.amtcomposites.co.za/index.html[/url]. They have branches in CT, DBN, and JHB. The reason I recommend the e-glass route is becuase laminating epoxy is very expensive, and you will need to get your substrate nice and flat & even in colour. Cheapest way is to use e-glass (a woven fibreglass, not the standard chop strand) with polyester resin and black pigment. This is also much easier to sand down as it cures more brittle than epoxy. That being said, if you can afford to use only expoxy, then go for it. Do [u]not[/u] use polyester pigment with epoxy, or vice-versa. They are not compatible. Pigments are very cheap, and come in thick paste form from AMT. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
