I'm getting a lot of requests from customers who are interested in these plasma cut metal sheet painted decorative signs, letters, etc. Most don't know the difference in a router and a plasma cutter, nor do they care about the type of material used.
I don't want to turn these customers away, but I have to provide a good alternative that I can mill and can hold up to the weather. I've read other posts here about PVC, HDPE, acrylic, and others, but it can get a bit confusing if you can't see the differences in person.
Is there a good .125" to .25" thick material out there that can compete with steel as far as cost, durability, and paintability ( or comes in different colors?
