Black Eggcrate

[Abe]

I am looking to buy black eggcrate, I heard aquarium illusion, HD, and Rona carry it but I search them all and none of them did. Can anyone tell me where I can find some in Edmonton please. Thanks.

Buy white and spray paint it??
White is easy to find I can't recall EVER seeing black (not that I've been looking either)
Lots of people seem to use krylon fusion paint with no ill effects
Just an idea

That is what I am doing, a lot of people spray paint egg-crate.

You can get it at the Ceiling Centre. They don't usually stock it but they will special order it for you. I think they said it takes about a week to arrive.

My $0.02 .. A couple years back I was bent on finding black eggcrate so I called around all the local lighting suppliers and eventually found some, at something like $20 a sheet. Whereas the white at Rona is something like $2 a sheet (maybe not exactly that but you get the idea). A can of Krylon Fusion paint can be found at Canuck Tire for a probably $5-10 and many people have used Krylon Fusion under the waterline without issue. If I ever needed black eggcrate again I'd just make my own.

alright thanks for all the replies, I have white eggcrate already, so I am just going to buy paint and get'er done lol.

i don't see a point in getting black, sure white looks ugly at first but once it gets covered in coraline it'll be purple in the end that goes for the black one as well

i have seen the black at totem before.. but not for quite a while... but i do agree with the "its going to end up purple regardless of clolor" statement.

The paint will come off after a year or two in my experience. I buy black eggcrate from Bulk Reef Supply. White eggcrate is $12/sheet here, paying a little extra for black doesn't hurt my feelings.
