I work at a custom table manufacturer, and we had a food court table job that we did for westfield malls where we used a product from Interlam that was very similar to this. look at their website and you'll see what I mean. it is very neat stuff. We used an automotive finish under epoxy/resin and it turned out great.
That is very cool. There's a fashion store in England (Next) that have that kind of thing around all their counters and it looks amazing painted and under the right light. Does the pattern repeat so you can join them together seamlessly?
