This is very tough stuff. It's very similar, if not the same, material used on arcade cpo's. It is super easy to install because it's pressure sensitive. I've used it on a couple of control panels and I would recommend it to anyone that isn't looking to do the artwork/lexan thing. I wish I had a better pic of it installed, but the only one I can find is http://www.oscarcontrols.com/tmp/new_cp2.jpg. It's hard to tell from the pic, but it is textured just like arcade cpo's.

I called my local Home Depot earlier today. It turns out they do carry 2' x 4' sheets for only $13 so I'm in luck! I'll be checking out the color options tomorrow. Thx for the heads-up Snaaake.

no problem ! ;)
I just wanted to point another thing out though.
Dont buy the green marble looking one home depot carries..that one is horrible(IMO)..I mean at first glance it looked nice so I bought it then after like 2 months the color started washing out.
Buy either something blue or black(marble or not). :)
