Cory, We make a lot of Stainless Steel products and have them cut by the
laser cutters. The problem is they can cut anything as long as it is flat.
But when it has to be formed like the fascias then there goes the labor.
Painting is cheap and fascias are plentiful.

Subject: [DML] Has this been attempted?

Has anyone else ever tossed around the idea of producing custom 
fascias made from stainless?  I was thinking of calling some stainless 
manufacturers and getting their input on if this can even be done or 
not.  I thought I'd ask the list first because maybe I can save myself 
a lot of trouble if someone chimes in with the right info.

I just think it would be bitchin' to have stainless fascias.  No more 
warping...  I'm going to guess that this is a near impossible feat, 
seeing as DMC could not keep grooved/gas flap hoods in production 
because it was too hard to stamp them.  Have there been advancements 
in 25 years in stainless production?  Would this be a little easier 
nowadays?  I'm still guessing that it would be costly no matter what 
way you slice it.
