Moulding ID

Post by StevenG »

Hi

There's a local shop I would do a few things for - they've got a job in now and the customer is looking for an exact match to an existing frame they have. It looks to be a polcore moulding. I've attached a few images they've sent. I've checked the Mainline site but nothing seems to match.

Can anyone advise please - if it doesn't exist I don't mind but I thought I'd check it for them.

The colour in the photos aren't right, it's more of a silver with a dull grey bit in the middle
Cheers
Steven

Matching exactly the same gold finish might be a bit of a challenge, maybe it would be possible to produce a reasonably good copy by making a stacked moulding frame and hand finishing it to suit. Just a thought!

Thanks for the reply Mark but I have no intention of recreating that with stacked moldings :) This particular shop always wants stuff on the cheap too so there's no hope they'd entertain the thought of the cost involved :)

Thanks what I already had figured.
