You know, the stuff sign companies use. I might fabricate some stone shields for my car.

I looked on the web but haven't found it yet.

Looks to be pretty reasonable. You might also try local sign shops. They usually keep some in stock.

Craft stores like Michaels and The Rag Shop carry this stuff. The biggest I've seen are 1 foot x 2 foot rolls.

If you have a TAP Plastics near by, they carry it by the roll and sell it by the foot. I used this to make #' for my track car.
