no problem at all sir
is there any way to get black tmolding painted withouth chipping later on?

Even if you can manage to find a paint that won't chip or flake, the most minor nick is going to ruin it. As soon as someone with a twisted wedding ring puts their hands on the edge or when you decide to move the cabinet, the paint is going to get nicked and the look is going to be ruined.
I know how you feel. I've been wanting 9/16 black for some time. Neither Happ or t-molding offer black in that size. t-mold does, but their service has been reported as utter crap. The only place I've seen that may offer T-Molding in weird sizes might be Outwater Plastics. I haven't queried them yet.

Vinyl dye might work (it seeps into certain plastics, hence it being a "dye" rather than a paint). You could always test it on a small piece first.

Let me know how it goes. I'd like to see how their 9/16 black fits on my cab.
Just keep in mind that T-Molding.com, Happ and T-Mold specifically cater to the arcade market. From what people write about and from what I see on T-molding's website, T-Molding goes through a lot of effort for color matching, such as their Galaxian Green. Anyhow, I digress. Outwater seems to cater more to a general market. So it's difficult to tell from their catalogue just how their colors will turn out. I might order their samples just to compare with what the others have out there.
