Justin, the 0.5mm is thicker than you imagine to be honest. I have to admit I love doing things on the metal panels as you can get some great effects.

Cheers Ian. I guess 0.5mm is enough for the sheet size, I just noticed some other are 1.5mm thick. I've been doing a lot of white metal water bottles which I guess is pretty much the same surface, yes, the white metal prints really well :-)

I see SubliMetals supply with holes in for hanging on the wall but I wonder if there's a better fixing option...maybe mounting onto a base or using some dividers to stand out from the the wall could be an option?

Yeah, I was looking at these but the site I saw them on they were very expensive imo.

edit: Price is coming down now I start to search :-)
