Another covering option is the fabric used on guitar amps. With a laminate it would probably chip on the edges and corners so paint was a good idea.
It’s really slick and crisp you did a good job.
Thanks for this!
I joined up here today because this post was excellent and I used it to order weather strips for my 4runner.
I appreciate all the effort you made on this, just outstanding!
Thanks again!
