Liquid Laminate with Texture?

[daenterpri]

Hello! I'm in the process of making some pickle ball(cross between table tennis and tennis) paddle skins for a customer. We are having a hard time with the laminate though. Other skins out on the market right now are a vinyl base but have a very nice matte textured finish. The finish doesn't scuff, is hard and very durable. It always looks nice. However, every standard laminate I put on there (cast or otherwise), quickly starts looking dingy, marred, scratched after mild use.

It almost seems like maybe a liquid matte laminate with some texture would be good? Does that exist?

What do you guys think I should try?

Why not use a polycarbonate trade show laminate or 3 Ms 3647 if you need lots of grip.

We actually already got a sample of the 3647 and the texture is way too thick. Need to be able to barely feel it.

3648 and 3645 are good alternatives then, or Seal makes a Deep Crystal laminate that is lightly textured and is polycarbonate so it will be very durable.

I really appreciate your help. The Deep Crystal laminate, in matte, sounds exactly like what we are looking for. Thanks again!

No problem... Big Fish on here has a similar if not the exact same thing if you want to support a mm.

Yes I carry a 4 Mil Textured Matte that is what your looking for, my price compared to anything else will be much more aggressive.
