Well, I'm laminating the outer left, right, and front of my cab, and painting the inner-left and right.  I like the look of laminate on the cab, and it provides a bit of durability, too.

I'm not sure what people do who have sideart on their cabs, though.

From working with Laminate, I'm tempted to say that paint is easier.

So laminate is very tricky to work with?

I wouldn't say it's tricky, but until tonight I never owned a router, so flush-trimming involved bribing friends with beer.  When it comes to painting the cab, there's not as much work to do involving powertools.   Then again, for a NICE paint job you'd probably want to find a friend with an air-compressor and paint nozzle.

In the end, it comes down to what you like best, and how much time and money you're willing to invest into the cab.  The laminate I bought was counter-top grade, sells for $45 (Canadian) per sheet at Home Depot, and I'm about to crack open my 3rd sheet.

I believe it is... I think that question was asked before. Do a search on these boards and you should come up with a hit or two.
