this is the exact one i bought. it’s the stuff they use like with cricut machines to cut out letters and shapes and stick em on stuff! just think of it as a big heavy duty sticker. once it’s on, it’s hard to get off. it’s completely black out so it makes the enclosure pretty dark even with one side still “open”.. but my guy has liked that i think.

I successfully turned this Eclipse 2.0 Reactor into a jet black blank.

Oracal 651 permanent black vinyl from here.
Hot dip, I noticed the pan did start a slow simmer so it was probably way too warm. Anything else I should watch out for? Or was it just too hot.
Don't spend that much, that's automotive grade. Oracal is high quality, used for permanent stickers:
If you know someone with a Cricut or other vinyl cutter you could get a precision cut...
I actually just had an idea. You could unscrew it, and cover the front in black vinyl.

I did just that, and you really have to look to see the outline of those holes in the front.

I dunno... just an idea.
They're still works in progress. The marquees are just inkjet placeholders. It took forever to get my artwork printed, and I kinda moved on to other projects. However, the weather is a changing, and I'll finish em sometime soon.
The Bezels... https://i.imgur.com/MytXato.jpg
I just took blue painters tape, and taped around the TV, flipped the acrylic over, and traced the tape with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NC0XTPV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was going to take the measurements, and print bezel art, but I kinda like the matte black.
Just a heads up if you are interested. For $7 you can buy some black vinyl wrap on amazon and wrap your PSU so its all black. You will need a hobby/exacto knife to make sure you cut out all the vents. I did this to mine with great results and no hit to thermals. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NC0XTPV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Yeah it's just the cheapest vinyl I could find on Amazon after Walmart was sold out of the cricut kind weeks ago.
