Title: Parts Express vinyl for cocktail: Teak, Cherry, or Red Maple?
Post by: Stobe on July 05, 2007, 10:34:37 pm

Has anyone used any of these vinyl laminates on a cocktail before?  If so, how did it turn out?

Which of these three colors do you think would look the best on a cocktail?

Thanks,
Stobe

those all look good!

Any chance we can get a pic of the room it's going in? Otherwise, I like cherry or maple.

I've always been partial to the red tones in the cherry laminate.  I think it has more character.  But if you are looking for authentic, the teak color is probably closer to what was commonly used back in the day.

Hey Stobe,

I have two unused rolls of the Cherry stuff from them.

I'll sell them to you for 75% of retail plus ship.

Let me know.

Hmmmm, I'm glad Randy praised the cherry color before Koolmoecraig offered up his goods for sale.  Otherwise I'd cry Conspiracy!  j/k

Sending PM

(check my Proj Announcement, and you'll see why 2 rolls may come in handy :) )

I actually used about 2 feet off of one of the rolls that I forgot about.

$30 shipped if you want them.

Thanks!

Teak for me, but I'm a plain guy - no flash.

I'm thinking cherry for my Ms Pac restoration.

For once I want my cabinet to look like furniture. The cherry looks a bit more modern too.

BTW, I'm guessing it may really be through Parts Express since the prices are IDENTICAL, but here's an Amazon link for the same things. (http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&rh=n%3A11042151&page=1)

Just in case someone has an extra Amazon gift certificate or something.

I want to see someone recover a cocktail in silver  ;D

I ordered my vinyl from AMazon...I think it actually does come from Parts Express if I remember correctly. Good stuff.
