Posted by clpress on 12 August 2005 at 12:47

Does anyone know where I can get a maroon 5mm foamex from, I have tried europoint – no joy and Amari who only have the the 3mm.

Thanks

You could try flood coating it with the colour vinyl you need!! 😀

Or Cox Plastics but dont have a number 😕

I managed to get the maroon I needed from Amari in the end they found three sheets floating around in one of there depo’s, cost of coating with vinyl was going to be horrendous compared to the boards and the end job looked nice with a flat gold letter.

if its south facing, and sometimes not even south facing, it will bleach with the sun mate. give it a few months, 6 tops and i bet you see a difference.
not trying to be smart, or worry you… just a fact of life with this stuff mate.

On a different note , where can i get a cream/magnolia coloured foam board from? it’s only got to last 4 months and i need 4 10×4 sheets. or is there a paint i can use instead of flooding it as i don’t realy want a join.

We get 10×5 sheets here too, but as rob says, it will fade in the sun. Used yellow some time back, and it was white in 9 months. 😥

I thought europoint only did colourd board in 8′ x 4′, white is available at 10′ x 5′. Amari do a magnolia but not sure if available as a 10′ x 5′ sheet in 5mm.
