I played around with some colored fiberglass when I made my daughter her new GP to match her new kayak. I used a sleeve woven with carbon and pink fiberglass from Soller. Pretty neat stuff. It was quite a bit thicker and stiffer than all carbon. Another option would be to tone the clearcoats like Ron does at Norvorca.

Hi Dan,
That's pretty neat. Does the coloured glass have the same structural properties as the clear?
