Jouster:

Simple enough poll question...but now...would you change the option you used?

For those people that have used multiple methods, which method 1) looked the best, 2) was the easiest, 3) was the cheapest!?

Another question....has anyone compared the weight of 3/4" MDF to 3/4" Plywood to 3/4" Particle board??

The way I understand it so far is:
Weight - MDF > Plywood > Particle Board
Cost - Plywood > MDF > Particle Board
Handles Weather - MDF > Plywood > Particle Board

I've used laminate, paint and vinyl.
All 3 will work great if you do it right, but the last cab I did I used the Happs vinyl and it came out really good and took half the time and effort as the other 2 methods so I'm a vinyl fan for sure.  :cheers:

Taborious:

I used Laminate and it worked fine but you should treat it afterwards. It helps make it shinny and looks a lot better. I have not tried vinyl but I've heard good things...

Plywood is lightest.
