AFAIK there's no such thing. Acrylic can be smoked by not PC.

However you can buy "smoke effect" polycarbonate spray paint from a model shop. Don't use standard acrylic paint becaese it'll eat the PC.

Sliders for what? You're prolly better off with something like Delrin or Nylon 66

Polycarbonate is used for applications where optical properties and toughness are required. eg CD's, riot shields....

just to refresh....


we've checked with Renault and original Glasses are no longer available and they won't be making anymore,

I've removed my original glass covers and replaced with polycarb as a mater of insurance before i chip or break the glass ones.

I've done a limited run and there's a few pairs left once theyre gone they're gone.... i won't be getting any more made unless i get a minimum of 10 orders so snap them up while they're available!

PM me for futher details
Next
