laminate for CAB
Breaker:
Hi all,
I'm shopping around for laminate these days and I'd appreciate some feedback from folks on their experiences and opinions related to type/brands and colours.
I ask because I was at Home Depot checking things out and the only brand of laminate they carried was 'Formica'. I want a black laminate for my CAB but the Matte Black (colour #909) manufactured by Formica looked really dull to me on the sample. To check I pulled a few 4' x 8' sheets from the rack and the colour wasn't any better. Also, it seemed to be really hard to clean; I wasn't able to rub off the fingerprints on the few sheets I looked at and the dust made it look terrible.
I know there are other brands of laminate out there as well as other colour variations on black (besides a matte finish). Guess I'm looking for advice from the BYOAC community on this one?
Any comments are appreciated!
Thanks,
Breaker.

uh, well in my experience, formica is what you call a kind of laminate.

The other major brand is Wilsonart.

Here's a great thread over at MameWorld which shows my cab and talks about laminate and various brands:
