Black Pegboard

[radio2000]

Anyone know where i can find black pegboard that's not outrageously priced? Need two 4' x 8' sheets to span the length of my workbench. This is the best I've found, but $65ea seems a bit pricey.

Maybe dumb question, but why not just paint regular pegboard? A good primer and paint should get you black or any other color you want.

Great question... Not being a smart ***, but I just don't want to. I have other projects that I need to finish, so would just rather spend a few extra dollars and buy it already done.

Never recall seeing black.
That said, black is going to **** up a lot of light from your bench area.

I could see that... I might consider silver as well.

maybe pay a neighbor kid to paint it for you?

Significantly more expensive but also much higher quality and stronger: http://cheappegboard.com/copy-of-8-...ontrol-16in-w-x-32in-t-blue-metal-pegboard-1/

I splurged on some white wall control peg board for my garage and love it so far.

Menards sells Black metal pegboard.

LOL! that's not a bad idea either.

I painted some old white peg board black that was in my garage when I moved in. Just used some cheap gloss black spray paint that I had laying around and it came out surprisingly well. I only re-purposed a few small sections of it so it might not be feasible if you want large sheets of it.

Wall Control makes black metal one, but it would take several pieces to get to your size. I dont believe they sell a large sheet. Home Depot or Lowes (I forget) sell plastic ones in like a 12"x12" or a 16"x16"

thanks!
never heard of them.
$82ea for 4' x 8'.
$164 sounds like a lot of money for pegboard, when Lowes has white for $18ea...
I supposed for $130, i should just paint the damn thing myself.

I bought a 32x32 wall control in galvanized steel for $34.99 shipped from amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001J6FSDS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Its $36.73 now and the black color is $43.50

Personally I love this stuff, super tough and strong and not prone to aging/moisture like traditional peg board.

I have some silver peg board that I bought at the borg years ago. Would love to find more.

The money you save painting it yourself will probably pay for a large majority of the hooks you'll need once you start hanging stuff.

 

[Mr_B]

could of painted it in time spent searching for black and starting this thread.
At price difference you be mad not to .

 

[radio2000]

Ok
Looks like I'll be painting it.
Any tips on how to do this without steaks from a rattle can and/or without a sticky/tacky finish?

I rolled mine. Real fast and came out nice.

Check out www.wallcontrol.com

no matter the colour, wall control metal pegboard is so much better than masonite pegboard. It's worth the extra cost. If you really want, you could get the unpainted one and paint it and save a few dollars.

I use 'tempered' peg board which costs a little bit more and I never had any problems with aging/moisture. The two sheets I have over my workbench have been there about 10 years

Not sure why smaller, metal sheets would be better. I think the thickness (1/4") helps hold the hooks in and keeps them from moving around more - especially compared to a thin sheet of metal, but to each his own...

I would be interested in hearing why 'wall control metal pegboard' is so much better

I use Slat Wall, you can usually find it on Craigs List. I've been using it for long enough that I have a bunch of hooks..so if you have a bunch of peg hooks its more of an investment.

I have so many pegs from the last garage, just going with the reg peg board. And between watching my tigers play, it's happening....

It would be a tasty addition to most garages
