Where to get heavy black cardboard?

Next project is to replace some of the trim pieces around the wood window frames. It appears the ones that were there (what's left anyway) were made out of the heavy cardboard like the glove box is made of. Anyone know WHERE to get something like it in a sheet form?

Thanks!

    Auto upholstery shop or upholstery supply company. Ask for the waterproof board, it's usually black.

    Thanks for the replies!

    JFromm, for some reason where I live upholstery shops are few and far between..

    Cricket, I will check them out.

    Onerare, that's where I have been looking. Most I see is the 1/8th inch or thicker panel board and that's just a tad thicker than I need in order to sew the beading onto. Your project looks great!

    Hey ken,

    I have looked at a couple. They seem to have a picture frame backing materiel. Seems like it would just fall apart if it got damp. I will keep looking..
