Already tried. Freight is the killer. Getting it here undamaged is also a big challenge.

Remember the bezel will be under tinted glass so this should help hide any imperfections......

Setabs:

Why not try using fiberglass?  Use the $2 one as a template for the fiber glass.  I bet you would only need 2 layers to get it stiff enough(no jokes please  ::).)

nostrebor:

If you apply the same care and tenacity in making a $2 bezel, as you have put into  everything else on your cabinet, it will come out just fine. Especially if you are using tinted glass.

Spend the $100 on artwork or ??

DrewKaree:

I can see it now.  The headlines will read "Man decides to paint cab orange, but somehow is unable to avoid peer pressure and spends tens of tens of dollars getting a bezel that isn't going to make the HUGE difference people are thinking"

Yeah, that's just how it'll read ::)

Excellent job on the bezel, Bones.  YOU are right, it'll look PERFECT behind the tinted glass, and probably not a SINGLE chucklehead here would be able to tell the difference when you're done ;D

Of course, even if I couldn't tell, it'd be the first thing I'd point out to you when I saw it ;)  Better throw Mrs Bones on top of me to distract me, and QUICK!
