Question about black contact paper
tubuku01:
ugh, after going with laminate on my cab, there is no way i would use contact paper(that's just me, though).
i, too bought mine at home depo for $45, and needed two sheets to cover all of my cab. if you ask me, it was well worth it. they also sell smaller pieces for about 12 bucks, i think. either, way, if you want that durable, professional look, then laminate is the way to go.

I have seen a cab on the internet that had the moon's landscape wall paper on it. I thought it was sharp. 8)
darkmanx:
for people who laminate...do you usually just do the sides and then contact paper or paint the rest? thats what im thinking about doing. laminating the whole thing would cost a ton..
lightspeed:
Haven't priced it, but regarding wallpaper, there are companies that will custom-design and digital print it.

Laminate really is the best looking finish.
But as far as the contact paper seams go, I really don't notice them. And I did mine in horizontal strips, not vertical, so there are a few seems on each side. each strip overlaps by about 1/4". There is a slight grain to the contact paper, so as long as the grain is going the same way on each strip it blends together pretty well.
ymmv.
