Maybe i'll just try using the glossy laminate and if i have a problem i'll send you the bill. ;)

Heh heh - fair enough ;)
It only cost me $3 at kinkos to get something laminated, no matter what size it was (thought that was weird until the guy said it takes the same amount of work, they just trim it down to the right size).
Cue-Ball:
$3!?!? Wow. It costs me $3 per square foot!. Since my panel is over 4sq ft they round it up. $15 for laminate alone >:(
I sent my CPO into Kinkos via the web yesterday. Got a call at 7:30 this morning that it was done. Stopped by on the way to work to pick it up and it was completely the wrong color! Aaarrrrrggggghhhh!!!
They're supposed to have it redone by 5PM today. We'll see if they can get it right on the 2nd try. That's a costly mistake for them to make though.
Frostillicus:
yeah they are renowned for screwing things up like that. My first CP overlay I asked for them to print was twice the size it was supposed to be and had a horrible border. How could I use that?
Anyways, since that I always drop off a color proof to go with it - and tell them to not even bother calling me unless they get it to look like the proof (only bigger ;) ). Don't know if you did that but it could help next time.
Cue-Ball:
I didn't provide them with a color proof but when i noticed it was wrong i told them to open the PDF file that i provided. They looked at the screen and then at the printout and said "You're right. Those look nothing alike!". They ended up printing it three times before the got it right. The second printing was fine but they fouled up the laminate. Third time was a charm. :)
Total damage to my wallet: ~$58 :o
The overlay ended up costing more than my joysticks and buttons! Will post pics once i finish putting it all back together.

Well I'm glad it finally worked out ;) Sounds like it was a nightmare.... but I can't wait to see finished pics - that design is killer.
