"Car Shaped" steel sample panels?

[Guest]

Hello all,

I was at the Detroit Autorama over the weekend and saw some very nice steel "car shaped" sample panels hanging in the Sherwin-Williams paint display. I asked everyone there where they could be found and all I got was blank stares. Does anyone know who manufacures these nifty little sample panels?

Thanks!

Ive seen those before, but the ones I came across were plastic and were painted, not steel and powdercoated. They have them on display in the Sherwin Williams automotive paint store near where I live.

Contact Eastwood, they use them too. I doubt you'll get a supplier out of em though, but its worth a shot.

I like BOTH of those ideas......drink more beer while cleaning M/C covers! I like it! LOL

Either way, I'm on a mission.......I just gotta know!

Thanks guys!

I think they are like $1 or $2 ea been a couple years since we bought any.
very nice for candy's, metallics or anything that changes with lighting.
I would not put an RAL color on the domes however, kinda a waste

Those are called "speedshapes." I think you can get them from Alsa.

That's kinda the norm for Alsa... but who else can chrome an entire car?

What if somone got a small stamp company to stamp them? It might be costly at first. but Im sure could undercut the prices of ALSA.

Re: "Car Shaped" steel sample panels?

I actualy just did just that, and should have a quote in the next few days. I asked for a quote for 2000 pieces. If anyone is interested let me know. once I get a cost, Id like to just split the cost how ever many ways we can to get cheaper custom versions of what you were looking for.

But I do like the metal Bud bottles.
