I usually use tin for home heating ducts. It can be found at any home depo or revy. Just paint it black after. Light weight and cheap.

any glass shop in Leth will have it. Its called Lexan. I like to buy the clear Lexan and paint the back side of it black. It gives it depth and looks amazing! Ive baught some from that shop on stafford drive S across the street from visions between 3rd ave and 4th ave. As for the paint just use any old black sprey paint or just get the black Lexan. The clear stuff scratches pretty easy but aslong as you never touch it it will looks good for years to come.
