Does anyone know where to get polycarbonate lexan film. I want to silk screen some cpos but can't find a supplier. Looking for a textured lexan like original. Thanks.
 
I get it from 3m via sabic. Gotta buy a lot though, not something you can get 10 yards of.
 
its much easier to buy them in sheets usally 24x48
they come shipped rolled.
.010 is the normal thickness for just about everything

both textures are used Suede is the rougher stuff and used on most cpos.
the Velvet is a little more smooth and used on some early Atari
and most later Atari pieces that yellowed with age.

some examples-
Paperboy cpo velvet
SW cpo -suede
SW yoke velvet
Crystal CAstles Marquee &Cpo-Suede
Crystal Castles Speaker grill velvet
 
I think velvet/matte is better for cpo's as the suede is a little too coarse. I think that tekra will send you samples if you ask.

As to quantity minimums, I think they want you to order $100 per item.
 
Just to be clear, I have never repo'd a cpo. But I do screen print on this material daily, so as to what texture is correct please listen to Riki. :)
