The metallic coloration extends through the sheet. Both sides have the metallic reflective surface. However, due to the manufacturing process, one side is perfectly flat but the one side may have “flow marks.” This means that the melted acrylic did not perfectly flatten out on the top side when produced. This has resulted in some sheets having some irregular surface. So it is best to plan one sided projects, or smaller projects which can work around these lines. This is the most beautiful acrylic material we sell. It is absolutely amazing and we know you will love it, but we want you to understand the limitations with one side of the material. We have shown images below so you can see what we mean by the “flow marks.” Also, while most acrylics do fine removing the masking, this material cuts best with the masking in place.
