Thanks

I've used Dibond through work a while back and a couple things come to mind.
-The edges can be sharp if not dressed correctly.
-They are aluminum, so if you were planning on using magnets to hold them up, you will have to glue some mating magnets on the back.
-Mounting hinges will most likely require hardware to be visible on the front side.

For those that don't know what Dibond is, its a polyurethane core sheeted with aluminum. If comes finished with a dozen colors and is weather proof.
If i recall correctly, they come in 4' x 8' sheets and are 1/8" thick.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but ikea had glossy white cabinet doors. Sizes are limited but maybe you can make them work.

Yes, I checked out Ikea panels and they does not fit with what i am doing :-). I went through the whole list and could not see any matching size. Either too short or i have to trim it and if i trim it, the edge won't look good any more.

You could probably get sabic plastics to cut the to size, I'm not sure that they will smooth the edges and or dress them with an edge trim for you though.
