Your local Home Depot or Lumber Yard Hardware Store will carry it.

The only thing I found at Lowes and Home Depot in terms of laminate was countertop laminate for $50 per 4x8 sheet.  They don't even sell laminated MDF.

That's one of the main reasons I ended up buying the UAII kit -- it already comes with a nice black laminate material on the pre-cut boards.

FWIW, I opted to skip the expensive laminate on my UAII cabinet and just used several coats of primer and satin black paint.  While it's definitely not as durable as laminate, I haven't had any problems with it scratching or chipping.

People on here (I haven't ordered from them though) have had good luck with...

http://www.cabinetparts.com/

I guess Wilsonart is one of the better brands of laminate.  It looks like they ship internationally (for a premium).

I can second this opinion. I've used cabinetparts.com for Wilsonart laminate and they are terrific.

ask them to send you a booklet of the durion classique range and you can see the laminate samples.

Very strange it wouldnt let me post the URL.
Ok this is weird the message board wont let me post a GBP sign, it cuts the message off after it.
8'x 4' sheet is 28 quid, they do deliver but I'm not sure if they charge you for it or not
