OK, I fully expect there's no answer to this.
I'm looking for some kind of skin material that I could paint, apply graphics to, etc, then roll it up for transport. So at the gig (a corporate ballroom-type show) I could attach a million stock flats together to form a wall, then attach this material to the face to create and already-art-ed, seamless surface.
High-impact-polystyrene (HIPS) like you use for vacuforming has the qualities I'd be looking for: paintable, rigid but rollable. But I've only seen it in 4x8 sheets. I'd like it to be an 8'x32' solid piece. Or even 4'x32'--that would at least reduce the seams.
Fabric would work if we were just painting, but we're applying posters and stuff (wheatpasted poster look). Plus it's hard to get every last wrinkle out of fabric in this type of application.
Any thoughts? If I could find an affordable product like this I'd use it all the time (I'm a real seam-Nazi).
