Faux Ray Skin Source?

[Shaw Blades]

Hello,

Where does one buy faux ray skin in various colors?

My google fu is weak apparently.

Thx

I've never seen faux ray skin; not sure that it even exists.

There's coloured ray skin out there, do you mean that?
I got a lot of cut off bits large enough for projects off ebay

A few leather sites carry ray skin patterned leather. The one that came up in a search is:

Rayskin isn't all that expensive and is amazingly tough. You can get it hard and soft, and in many colors. I would use the real stuff.

Yeah I thought there was some vinyl version you could get odd colors in. Thanks everyone.

Shaw, it exists as I've seen it on a site or two but have not found a source for it. http://www.archiexpo.com/prod/joseph-noble-textiles/vinyl-fabrics-upholstery-58160-474979.html

Shaw I bought the skin I have from a member here about a year ago. Not sure if he still sells/has them or has access to them. I bought a hologram one off of him a while back which the pictures really do no justice of. Maybe try contacting him and it might be a long shot if you can't find them anywhere else. This is a link to the old thread. Just doing a quick google search I found some sellers on e bay too.
