What are you guys using for generic control panel overlays?  I took a look at Ebay and people are charging ~$35 for solid colors which seems ridiculous.  Surely there's some type of cheap adhesive vinyl or something out there.... I need to cover about 15" x 6".

Adhesive backed vinyl like that used for car wraps -- $6 shipped for a 12"x 60" roll includes a squeegee and Utility knife ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/Matte-Flat-Black-Vinyl-Car-Wrap-Sticker-Decal-Air-Release-Bubble-Free-Film-DIY/361770919824 )

I've still got some black parts express vinyl that I ordered eons ago that I use.  It's not super durable, but it gets the job done.   It's basically for custom speaker enclosures for car audio.  It's a little bit thicker than the stuff JD is talking about, so it covers boo boos better.  The parts express stuff is better imho because it's 2 feet wide, which is wide enough to cover most cabinet sides.

Parts Express.  That's the place I couldn't remember.  I got some black vinyl stuff a decade ago that looks great if you apply it to a glass like surface, which I ain't got.  I just want some of that heavy duty textured stuff I played on in the JAMMA days.

Can't help you there.  Now that the hobby has went psuedo mainstream everyone thinks their arcade junk pile is worth it's weight in gold. 

Happ used to sell a generic vinyl covering for their vending machines... it's textured but thick.  Not sure if they still sell it.
