For those of you who have dealt with both Outwater and t-molding.com, has there been any issues with either? I'm looking to get around 35' of chrome moulding, but am not sure if outwater's silver is the same as t-molding's chrome even though they have the exact same dimensions. Outwater is also significantly cheaper, at $0.21/ft vs $0.75/ft for silver vs chrome. If the silver's a no go, has anyone tried the brushed or polished metallic chrome? At $0.50/ft it's still cheaper than t-moldings chrome, and has the advantage of brushed or polished look. There is a minimum order of $25, so I can get 36' of silver and 36' of chrome to just exceed it and then choose the best one to use, but I don't know which is better, polished or brushed. I will be making my control panels out of brushed stainless, so I'm leaning towards brushed look, but it's hard to tell without seeing a picture of it. T-molding only lets you order in 20' lots, so I'd have to order 40', and shipping to Oz for that is 23.50 on top of the $30 for the moulding. US shipping for the same amount is $7.40, can anyone give me rough shipping estimates for 30-70' of moulding from Outwater to Oz? I've emailed asking, but haven't heard back yet. Finally, any Aussies want some moulding and want to split the shipping? |

Both T-Molding.com and Arcadeshop buy their t-molding from Outwater so you don't need to worry about it being different. |

Ok, so can anyone confirm if outwaters silver 3/4 = t-molding's chrome 3/4? Haven't heard back from outwater yet, perhaps I'll just order both types from them and pick the best one when it gets here. (Almost have to anyway to meet minimum order) |

It states the minimum order is 250 feet. Also you may want to consider that the metallic sizing is not a true 5/8 or 3/4". You could have some wood showing if the molding is to narrow and I don't think you can trim the metallic moldings if it is too fat. If you buy the silver post a picture. |

Oh, they have brushed chrome. I want that! I have the 3/4" polished chrome t-molding (from t-molding.com) already and it's actually .77" wide when applied. |
