They do make other color carbon fiber other than the gray? Where can they be obtained?? Thanks.

As far as I know, Carbon is always black. You can get other fibers that have different colours, I forget what they are called but it is red and blue is sometimes woven in with CF, Kevlar can be used for yellow, there is also a material that looks like CF but is silver.

Check out www.uscomposites.com They have a great selection of material you can layup yourself. Call them if you have any questions. They are very helpful people.

As mentioned, carbon fiber is by defintion black.

Typically, colored fiberglass is passed off as CF.

It can be found in a hybrid twill, CF and fiberglass, in a variety of colors, and I know of one supplier who offers custom color matching.

There are kevlar hybrids also, but they are not easy to work with.

The silver and blue, and most of the other stuff I have run into is texalium, I believe.

Texalium- That is the word I was looking for.
