Hi

I have just popped my lcd on the living wall. Its a samsung, so it is glossy black, and my av stand is glossy black.

To hide the wiring - I have attached a white piece of trunking on the wall going from the bottom of the tv to the ground. It all looks neat, however I want to attach a 1m long piece of black plastic/perspex to the white trunking so it all matches and is glossy.

Any one know the bext place for buying perspex for this situation?

Thanks

You could try spraying the trunking black gloss - car paint or enamel would be fine, but I'd remove it from the wall first

You can buy black edging strip (self adhesive) for contiboard at a DIY store. Not sure if it will be wide enough though.

What about the sticky back work top coverings you can buy from places like homebase for your kitchen surfaces?

I searched the net high and low when I wanted a 7' x 2' sheet of grey tinted for a rack door. What I found was that everyone had fairly similar prices; the main difference was how flexible they'd be in accommodating a custom cut. In the end I decided to go to a local supplier. I might have Yell'd or gone to the phone book and Yellow Pages.

For what you want - which is almost an off-cut - have a look who is local to you and give them a ring.

If you can't find black perspex which is totally opaque (to completely hide the trunking), use a strip of clear perspex/acrylic/polycarbonate and paint the back side with a Halfords acrylic black car aerosol.

Go to a local sign maker, they are usually happy to give you offcuts as is saves them paying to take them away
