Looking to replace my Tac Mat on the top of my Super Console due to suntan lotion leaking and destroying the material. I am looking for any info
were I might be able to purchase this material for replacement. Any help would be very appreciated.

Tac Mat is no longer available.

Members have either removed it to show the gelcoat underneath or installed a substitute.

Black Carbon Fiber Vinyl
3M 1080 Matte (Satin) Vinyl

Thanks for the reply, the 3M film looks like a good option. The 1/4 black Starboard I like, but I am not in favor of screwing it down and creating new holes.
Thanks for your help.

I always thought it was "Mat Tac"!

Anyway, if you want leather grain like the original, you may try this:

Maybe you can find it in the US.

When I fixed up my Montauk console which had Mat Tac, I used adhesive black carbon fiber vinyl. Looks good, and VERY tough. See my website link.

I also have some of the 3M smooth black vinyl which I got from Magic Brush as their substitute for Mat Tac, and decided not to use. Can sell it to you CHEAP if you want the smooth look.
