Title: Please Help! Looking for Ebay Vinyl Laminate dealer
Post by: Encryptor on March 08, 2010, 09:02:32 pm

I recently read a thread that had a link in it for a seller on Ebay that had a variety of rolls of vinyl laminate in wood grain. I forgot to book mark it and now I have searched for a couple of hours and cannot find it again. Anyone know of a seller that sells wood grain vinyl laminate on Ebay? TIA!

I know one in the UK but I presume you're looking for something closer to home. Here is is anyway:

http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/vinyldepot-retail_wood_W0QQ_fsubZ6047680QQ_sidZ362398874QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 (http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/vinyldepot-retail_wood_W0QQ_fsubZ6047680QQ_sidZ362398874QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322)

Looks like they do international if you can't find anyone else. I used their matt black on The Mystery Machine and it came out nice - will probably use them for the forthcoming Tron Mini woodgrain. Encyptor - can you have a look at the link and see what you think would match?

PartsExpress also has various woodgrain laminates

I'd also be interested.  The Parts Express stuff is too small to cover a cabinet but might work for smaller things.  I ordered a 1/2 sheet (2' x 4') from Home Depot last year but it was expensive ($40 or so).

Doh! I wasn't thinking.

Well it's for a Tron Cabaret so the normal 24" should work for that. I measured it and the side is about 23 7/8" at the widest spot.

Thanks for the link. That's the one I saw before. If I have to use them I will.

I sent an email to Parts Express and they are sending me samples of each of the wood grain vinyl they carry so I can try to match it up. I'll let you know what or if any are close.

Yeah they are pretty good about sending samples. A couple of years ago they send me a bunch of t-molding samples.
