I could use a little Donkey Kong help (or suggestions)
(1/1)

What was used on an original cabinet to cover the piece of wood where the instruction sticker goes and that also holds the bottom bezel in place?  The cabinet I have (see pic) is bare wood which is obviously not right - what goes over it?  Laminate?  Vinyl?  Paint?  Something else?  I'd appreciate some suggestions...

Thanks!

Laminate

wilsonart 1560 (matt black) is perfect match

PM me I have some scraps that should be enough to cover that

the top piece was missing on mine, I replaced it with that laminate and you can't tell the difference between that and the front piece

Thanks Bender - with all the help you've given me on this maybe you should just come down to NJ and finish up the cab for me!  I have some ABS plastic laminate left over from the control panel that I could use but thanks for the offer.   Are you saying that there was also a piece of laminate on top of the wood too?  What about the groove for the bezel?

After thinking about this for a while I may end up just painting it - the rustoleum semi-gloss I used for the inside edges is great stuff - it dries nice and flat and covers great.  I don't know...

 :cheers:
Bender:
originaly it must have been laminated then the grove cut right through the laminate
When I redid mine I painted the little bit behind the groove cause it wasn't going to be seen and just laminated the little part inftont of the groove
I'm glad I can help and really I don't mind or I wouldn't have offered
good luck, It's looking amazing so far :cheers:

I've had good luck with krylon Semi-flat (rust proof or something like that) it matches the laminate pretty well and judging by you other projects you know how to do the paint right!
