Black Eggcrate
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

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.

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.

that goes for the black one as well
