Carbon-Fibre Effect Ply?

[KevO]

I am trying to find a source for this carbon-fibre effect ply but am not having any luck so far. Does it have a particular trade name that Mr Google can find?

And yes... the Navman **** is no-more... that's why I need to make a new mounting board for the replacements.

Not ply but cf effect

How about a bit of normal ply with a layer of cf laid on with epoxy?

Thanks guys, but the stuff I'm looking for is like a laminate bonded onto something like 1/4" ply (or similar). It doesn't look like a DIY applied finish although I suppose it could be (by someone much neater than me ) ... There's another larger panel below decks that the engine start + instruments, batt monitor and switch panels are mounted on.

That second one might do it Davey... As also suggested I could bond it onto ply. A sheet that size would also allow me to make up a new panel for below decks too. Mmmm... blerdy 'xpensive tho

Very easy to make yourself:

Apply release agent to a sheet of clean glass, wet with an epoxy and then lay up the carbon fibre mat, add your bit of ply and some small weight and let it cure, strip and coat with 2 or 3 coats of high UV rated varnish in gloss or mat finish as desired.

Good luck and fair winds.
