Painting over Laminate?
JayTea:
I think I'm going to test a few areas to see if I like the outcome of bondo/orbital sand/painting... I will update and share my results with everyone. Thanks all!

When i first got my cabinet i was considering keeping the old laminate and just painting the really bad parts, or completely repainting over the laminate. I ended up peeling off the old laminate and recovering the outsides of the cabinet with black counter-top laminate from Home Depot. And boy and i ever glad i did! It looks SOOOOOO much better and more professional. It was expensive (~$100 for parts and tools) but worth it.

That's fine and dandy for a cabinet that's in pieces or one that's basically just a box, but unfortunately depending on the cab applying laminate to all the exposed surfaces while assembles would be very difficult, such as the Dynamo Showcase I'm working on right now...
