Our Colored Plastic Sheet Material Has Many Uses, From Motorsports to Crafting

High Density Polyethylene sheet (HDPE) is a hard plastic sheet with many uses. While commonly used in the motorsports world for creating air dams, side skirts, and even complete karting bodies, the real world use of HDPE sheet plastic is just about endless. From arts and crafts use to modeling, and even used as work bench tops, the uses of this rolled plastic sheet is only limited by your imagination and the tools you have to work with. HDPE sheets have a natural “non-stick” type of surface which means it is a great product for creating playground slides or for use in conveyer systems!

HDPE hard plastic sheets are one of those products that you’ll buy for a specific racing need but end up using it for a multitude of things, which is why it’s best to order more than you need or more than one color. Once you’ve completed your race car’s air dam or kart body, you’ll end up using the left overs for all manner of projects around the shop or home. We’ve ended up using this HDPE sheet plastic for such projects as shop workbench tops (no soaking of oils into that wooden bench), and adding colored accents to a custom kid’s car bed. Really, there is no limit as to what you can do with this material.

Is HDPE Strong? Is HDPE Sheet Flexible? Yes, Yet Cuts Easily with Tin Snips, Shears, or Razor Knife

Our HDPE sheet plastic is available in six high gloss colors, including red, white, Pepsi (light) blue, Chevron (dark) blue, yellow, and black. Each 10 foot hard plastic roll is 22-inches wide, and the material is 1/8-inch thick. We also offer a Shop 25-Foot Rolls of Colored HDPE Plastic Sheet of 1/8 plastic sheet for those big projects! The thickness of these hard plastic sheets provides plenty of support when used as a side skirt or air damn for your race car but is still thin enough that it can be bent using a sheet metal brake with a heat gun used to “cure” the angle the sheet is bent to while it is still in the brake.

From being used for race car body panels to bottom of door or wall protectors to colored plastic sheets for your kid’s playground system, our HDPE sheets cuts easily using Shop Aviation Snips, Metal Shears, or a Utility Knife (best with a straight edge guide like a steel ruler and a set of clamps). You’ll be surprised at how easy the thin flexible plastic sheet is to cut and the edges can be cleaned up with a router or hand sanding to provide a nice, safe, snag free edge so you don’t cut your racing suit getting in and out of your race car, or the kiddos don’t suffer a bad scratch on the playground!

Most Rigid Plastic, But Easily Secured with Rivets, Screws, or Quarter Turn Fasteners

Mounting our sheet of hard plastic can be accomplished in numerous ways depending on how you plan to use the colored hard plastic sheets. For permanent installation on race car bodies the use of rivets is quick and easy. We offer our standard Shop Colored 3/16-inch Large Head Rivets rivets that will require a Rivet Backing Washers in some mounting locations, and Shop Colored 3/16-inch Exploding Head Rivets rivets that do not require backing washers. For race car installation where removal will be necessary for service access, our Race Car Body Mounting Kit is the perfect solution, as the aluminum finish washers spread the fastener load, preventing pull through on the rigid plastic sheeting, while looking great. We even offer a Shop Crash Repair Kits with your choice of colored plastic sheet, rivets, racer's tape, and more to repair track damage to your race car's body quickly and easily.

Another option for these flexible sheet plastic panels that require removal for access (but that you can’t get behind to hold the retaining nut with a wrench) is our Race Car Body Bolt Kit that uses “clip nuts” instead of free-standing retaining nuts. Lastly, if you’re a fan of 1/4-turn fasteners for panel retention and quick access, we offer a 1/4-Turn Fastener 10 Pack that are perfect for retaining HDPE plastic sheets. Some applications may benefit from our pre-cut Spring Steel Body Mounting Straps or our universal race car Body Mounting Kit to hold your custom cut sheet of flexible plastic in place on your race car. Obviously, for craft projects you can use your favorite fastener or special bonding agents to assemble pieces of this colored polyethylene sheet together for your own special project. Once you start working with our colored flexible sheet plastic for your race car or other project, you’ll be amazed at what else you can use it for!
