Wilsonart samples arrived today for the black vertical laminate and I must admit this stuff looks fantastic, it is way more rigid than I expected it to be and looks like it can take quite a beating. So thanks to Shaner's recommendation on eBay and seeing the product up close and personal I think I am going to stay on track and keep with the laminate.

Laminate is the way to go. I'm using it on my bartop and the finish is fantastic. Love your artwork :notworthy:

Note:
Vertical grade laminate is thinner than "regular" laminate. Most color samples are made from the regular grade. Laminate is also available in SEVERAL different sizes and is rolled for easier transport. Check with lumber mills for best prices. Once in a while a countertop shop will let you know where you can buy it. Commonly available in the US is:
Wilsonart
Formica
Nevamar (less common)
When figuring what size(s) to purchase, consider using one bigger sheet to cover two sides. Be cautious when unrolling/moving it as the edges can be extremely sharp regardless of which grade you buy.
/good deed for the day ;)

Thanks guys I'll make sure I bare that all in mind.
Well today I came across my second stumbling point and once again I am glad that I framed this out first as it will simple enough to fix. The cabinet isn't wide enough for me to rotate the monitor I want to use for the horizontal+15 playing field. It's a 23" LED panel but it has a rotational diameter of 25", don't know how I missed this but I made the cabinet interior width 23 7/8" so that the tank stick base would perfectly mate to the sides of the cab.
Not a huge deal as I only had 4 cross members in there at the time of discovery, so I can whip them out and drop in 25.5" beams which will make the viewing area perfectly square, then I just have to find a way to mount the tank stick that still lets me use the pinball buttons without it looking like ass.
Rotating with only 0.5" of clearance is going to be tight as a Nun's... but it will be good as it will be using the maximum viewing area in the space available.

Am i missing something?
You have that awesome artwork...that's gonna cover up just about all of your sides......I thought folks bought laminate if they weren't skin up the cab like you are. Just wondering why you would buy 200.00 in laminate just to cover it up?
