Where to find black eggcrate? If not, group buy at TAP plastics anyone?

[badbread]

So I have been looking high and low in the area for black egg crate. I tried TAP in SF and in Fremont and no go, home depot, lowes, etc... The guy at TAP said he would try and find some for me and he did but here's the catch; Minimum order is 15 4'x2' sheets at something like $32 a pop.

Anyone know where to find some and if not anyone down to get in a group buy and get some?

Another thing, isn't $32 a sheet super expensive?

Ask your LFS to get it from Truvu. Black eggcrate is normally pretty expensive, I'm not supprised at the 30 dollar price tag.

Not to hijack the thread too much, but can't you krylon-fusion regular eggcrate?

Yeah white sheets + can o spray paint works too

I just used black pigment and a lot of aquamend.

So I took iani's advice and got a nice big fresh piece from my LFS. Thanks for the help all!

your right there a $30. extra charge in most cases if you buy under$200 worth but i found this for smaller panel $13-15 theres a few more sites out there, just have to look for the best deals. (try eggcratelouver as well) hope this helps
