Okay, so I scored today and found a local Wilsonart warehouse that sells this stuff at about 1/2 the price as HD. Looks like I'm going with laminate! :) My question is what finish are people using for black? They have #1 which is a high gloss finish. #7 texture gloss and #60 Matte textured with moderate reflective quality. Any feedback or opinions would be great. |

I use a textured gloss and like the results. Not too crazy about painted cabs unless you have a good quality spray gun. John |

Textured gloss is what I was thinking thanks! I have 3/4" MDF and I already cut the T-molding slot using a 1/16th slot. Only trouble is from what I read to get perfect results I need 13/16" T-Molding which uses a 7/64th slot. Does anyone know if this will fit in a 1/16th slot? Thanks again for the response! |

I just used crystal black on mine, I think it was textured gloss. My laminate thickness is like 1/16 so I don't think it will be noticeable. I also laminated the inside and outside, I was told since I used the thin stuff (cabinet grade) if I didn't do both sides it might bow. Better safe than sorry.
