Magnetic Number Material

I happened across an available source for magnetic material suitable for racing numbers in of all places the local home improvement center.

Consumer Smart Magnetic Vent Covers seems to be the same flexible sign material that is so commonly used by Solo 2 competitors to make temporary car numbers. I found these at Home Quarters, and for $7.95 you get three 8" x 15 1/2" sheets of white material. Not dirt cheep but conveniently available.

My own experiment with the material shows it takes paint well so it can be sprayed painted to change the color and cuts easily with a utility knife or scissors.
