i planned on covering the side panels (see pic) with plexi/lexan to protect the artwork. the t-mold will fit snuggly with 2mm plexi/lexan covering........... but now i decided to price up the plexi and its gonna wap

It's the risk factor that would put me off. One scratch and you've wasted a lot of money.

But if you're skilled (and lucky!) enough I'm sure the end result would look good.

I personally think it's not even worth the trouble.  Covering the CP is one thing since it gets a lot of hand contact but the sides is not in that same type of danger.  Also, it may look a little odd.  There are alternatives to protect side artwork that's a lot easier and cheaper.
