Possible cp/cabinet covering alternative... [pics!]

Just wanted to bump this again, due to recent interest in the product.

I've used this type of vinyl a lot recently. One thing that I noticed will help a bit if your control panel has some imperfections is to get a piece of poster board and apply the laminate to the poster board and put that on your control panel like it was an overlay. The poster boards will help to hide uneven surfaces that may be in your control panel.

OSCAR, my current control panel came with a material that seems very similar applied to it.

It's some sort of generic CAPCOM overlay material.  I assume it came in the GIGAWING kit that was used on my cabinet.  Like the stuff you have, it's thicker than contact paper but still workable.  The cool thing is that it is a silver grey and has a "diamond plate" print on it (along with CAPCOM printed now and then).
 
I wish I could find a source for more.   In the pic below, the "GigaWing" text is actually etched into the plexiglas.  It's not printed on the vinyl overlay.

This product appears to have been discontinued.  Anything similar for a similar price?  What are the kids using these days?

That's what I thought too, but I think it was just re-listed here...

Yup.  Looks like it.  Good to update the link for this thread!
