If you want hi gloss don't use timber. it will absorb the paint and well there is no point ruining a good stick! Try if you can (and don't want to actually carry anything on it) maybe per specs or some kind of black plastic. Then get your logo printed into a sticker and stick it to the plastic. Might give you a transparent look and bugger all weight...

If not then 19mm form ply comes in a relatively glossy black and I think it can be painted pretty easily.

just get a sign company to make up something that they can stick down over top, as mentioned above perspex for eg, or sheet of steel/metal etc.

Acrylic/perspex doesnt sit flat in heat, also can become brittle in time. I can do all of that at sign company I contract for, considered it and asked the questions.

Jd and now a few others have suggested marine ply, so that's the way Im going.

It comes in 2400x1200 sheets so I will have to join 2 together. However when its in the cnc router I will run little v grooves down it every 90mm to give the effect of decking butted together. This will also disguise the join.

Win!
