There are a number more interesting and inexpensive alternatives to these, depending on your decorative style. For example:

This is definitely Louie's favorite, but we're still negotiating. Smile

You did just give me an idea, though. Hmmmm.

Just did this for my in laws. Cable cover, very flat and about 3 - 4" wide. Paid about $16 - $17 for a 3' section. Once painted it should look a lot better.

I just came home from Lowe's with something that sounds identical - about the same price, too. It's probably a bit wider than I need, but it seemed the best choice of what was available. Now to figure out where I put that touch up paint I saved. (It's here someplace!)

Uh, oh!! that (in)famous phrase "It's here someplace", that usually means hunting for hours or days around my house. Best of luck finding it!

AlphaDog, I read/heard somewhere that paint will generally be a perfect match within about 30 days from the original gallon/5 gallon bucket. After that, the paint on the wall changes color, due to light, temps, etc.... If it where me, I would just repaint the whole wall if you cannot find the original paint.
