Hi everyone

I'm finishing up this year's amp. The cabinet is gorgeous. It's black rhino tolex with a figured redwood front baffle. I did a similar cabinet a few years ago with a koa front baffle and ebony faceplate. After using it, the ebony freaked me out at the thickness I had to thin it to to work as a faceplate. It was just too brittle and I didn't think it would hold up well in the long run. What kind of material do you guys use for that glossy black look?

Basic black pastic panel material I think it's made by Innovative Plastics or Rowmark . It's Reverse Engraved Plastic Material:CLEAR SURFACE / BLACK BACKGROUND, white fill letters.

We've used Gloss & Matte. Stick more the the Matte lately.
