Title: Where to find thin black vinyl/laminate for CP??
Post by: javeryh on December 01, 2005, 07:28:34 pm

I went to Home Depot, AC Moore and Staples and no one carried what I'm looking for.  I want to cover the 3rd CP on my cocktail cab in black with no plexiglass (because the other 2 CPs are metal and I think it would look weirder than it already does with the mutant 3rd CP) but I want it to be able to withstand some wear and tear.  Any ideas? 

Thanks!

I used Happs Pica on my cocktail (wood panels) and more recently on my countertop (metal panel) -- I love it as an overlay (assuming nice clean, smooth surface underneath).

Cheers.

They have black vinyl cheaper than Happ.

I actually have an entire, uncut roll of this that I won't be using.   I bought it to cover some of the more unsightly portions of my cab but then I went another direction with it (pics in this thread here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=42846.msg432082#msg432082)) so I don't forsee me using this stuff.   If you are interested in it, drop me a PM.

You could always try a Fabric store or a Hobby store like Michaels....They might have something. I bought a piece of fabric/Vinyl that is used for marine coverings....

Hey I don't know if you would consider an actual overlay surface.
