Idea for spray-on control panel covering
Guaranos:
I was working on this beater of a truck I picked up for my too-frequent Home Depot trips, and had an idea for a way to coat a control panel. I'm not sure if anyone has tried it yet, but a company called Dupli-Color makes a spray-on truck bed liner that comes in a can, like spray paint. It's really durable, inexpensive (about $8/can), and has an interesting texture to it. It comes out kind of bumpy like that self-adhesive vinyl that some people use. The can I have is black, though they might make some other colors.

Ultimately, you can use whatever you want for any part of your cabinet.
I ran across an op a few years back that had a number of cabs with that fake rock paint for covering the old artwork.
Last place I worked had a Cyberball conversion that used stair covering for the control panel.

Stair covering? Are you talking about that vinyl runner they use to protect carpet and stuff?
SirPeale:
Yeah, that stuff. With the grooves.

Did that Cyberball belong to Paige at any point in time ? ;D
