Hi all,
I have to place my vote for laminate as well.
It is more expensive, but it's very durable, relatively easy to apply, and looks great.
When I was ready to finish my cab I purchase some flat black laminate from Home Depot
and found that it looked dull and really showed fingerprints. I settled on WilsonArt's Black
Crystal #1595-90, it's not really shiny but has a great surface and looks very original;
I paid $105 for a 4 X 8 sheet. The equivalent from other manufacturers are Arborite S405-DI
and Formica 909-42.
Regardless of what colour you go with, do laminate, you won't regret it.
Breaker.
