dont let the image in the above website discourage you in purchasing it.   As said in the above post...colors really do pop out really good.

For those that have ordered the solar grey from tap plastics, does it get darker as you get thicker?

Basically is the color baked into the plastic or coated on the outside?

I got 1/8" tempered tinted glass. Way better than plexi IMO. Any glass place that does a lot of framing, shower doors, etc. will do a custom piece of glass. I got mine at Desola Glass on Louetta Road on the north side of town.

I have used this twice.  It's not coated, the color of the plastic itself is tinted.  It gets darker the thicker you get because of this.  If you do have a TAP plastics around they have several shades and thicknesses on display so you can get a good idea of how it will look.  I love it.  They will cut your piece while you wait, about $40.  Mine is 1/4" thick, doesn't bend or warp.
