well my one opinion on this is that although laminate looks good...everybody knows how to paint something, and if they dont, they know somebody that does. not everybody knows how to apply laminate. |

All you do is apply contact cement on both wood and laminte.Wait like 30 minutes,glue em together and trim using router+laminate trimming bit. There done,its been almost over a year with my cab.Everything still looks great.Nothing chipped or peeled or anything. So...laminate > paint (my opinion of course) 8) |

when i build a cabinet i like to use wood putty to fill in all the seams and edges. this hides any imperfections and tiny gaps that might show and it gives a good base for the paint. after painting you cant see a single seam and every corner melts into one another. paint should be easier to use on a cabinet with lots of complex corners and edges. laminate is probably hard to make seamless except on the sides. i also dont remember seeing any laminated arcade cabinets back in the early eighties. |

I don't suppose anyone reading this in the UK knows where you can buy sheets of laminate do they? can't seem to find any |
