I did a search and found this...hope it helps.  Only used paint myself in the past, but I'm looking to laminate my next one, just haven't gotten that far yet.

Good luck!

I like that vinyl suggestion, looks to be a cheaper alternative. I will eventually print some artwork for the side and control panel, so I won't need alot. Thanks, again.

Oh, I've been wondering about this and I saw this thread so I thought I'd ask here.

I found this vinyl stuff that looks like it'd be easy to use.
http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=260-018

The problem is it only comes in 2 ft wide rolls.  Does anybody know of any other places that may sell this stuff in 3 ft wide rolls?  I've searched high and low and can't find anything like this anywhere else.

I have looked around for quite a while for this in a wider that 2 foot sheet but have had no luck at all.
I have however seen different types of vinyl in a three foot roll for auction on ebay that do look promissing if you do not want to have a seam at the 2 foot mark.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
