T-Molding Color-- Black or Blue?

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

MonitorGuru:

Cross-pieces:  A cabinet is made up of two large sides, cut identical. These are the sides that have side art placed on them typically, and/or are usually wood-grained.

The pieces that go cross-wise between the two sides are the cross pieces.  E.g.:  kick plate area with the coin door, the piece under the control panel, the piece above/behind the monitor with the speaker, the top piece behind the marquee, the back door and pieces it is surrounded by.

Well, I thought of another idea (after looking at a few cabinets)...

If I paint my entire cabinet black... and then use blue t-molding around it, should I still use blue around the control panel?

...or should I maybe use black t-molding to make the control-panel stand out (eg. look different)

Or does that sound like a bad idea?  Maybe I should just go with blue all the way around...?

EDIT:  Also, how much t-molding would I need to go around the entire cabinet?  60' ?


Sasquatch!:

Arcadeshop Amusements has dark blue t-molding.  I absolutely love the look of it:

Heh, I had the exact same idea as you: look at the control panel - I used black t-molding around it.  ;)  I didn't like the way that the blue molding looked, so I went with black.  So, uh, I guess decide if you like what you see in my picture!

Actually, that was the one that I got the idea from!

Your cabinet looks great!

Is that "dark blue" t-molding the same as the "blue" t-molding.com from t-molding.com?

How much t-molding did you end up using?


sofakng:

Anybody know?  I'm hoping to place an order with one of these two companies tomorrow since I leave for vacation tomorrow night :)
