Right angle profile.

Anyone got any experience of using right angled plastic or carbon profile.
Using carbon effect abs plastic to panel the sides on my striker project. The edges of the abs panels are a bit rough after scoring and snapping the panels out of a bit sheet of abs.
The original alloy panels were folded over the top edge of the chassis and riveted into position.
Planning on using some right angled profile to cover the rough edges giving it a professional finish.
Has anyone done this and where's the best place to buy the profile from

Why are you using abs to panel the side? Just seems an odd choice to me.

Maybe a little bit too late by now, but being ABS, you could have cut the panels a little bit larger and bend with the aid of hot air gun.
On an extreme case, you could have made a full return on the offending edges, although this would double the thickness at the borders.





Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....

Used abs because its cheap light doesn't oxidize and looks good straight out of the tin.
Tried warming and bending it and its not as easy as it looks to get a nice finish.
Panels have been cut so need advice on using right angle profile.
