I saw one guy that used contact paper because he was too lazy to paint...looked ok to me....
anybody else ever use that?

My issue with contact paper is you got to piece it out. It isn't big enough for the sides. Three strips. I really don't want that! I also haven't said this yet but I want a paint that if 4 or 6 months down the road I want to put side art on it. I want to have it stick with no problems!So if latex paint is bad for that or any other please let me know!

As long as it's not that cheesy fake black marble contact paper. ;)
I initially was going with black textured vinyl much like the pica vinyl Happs sells. I ended up using black laminate on the sides instead as it turned out to be cheaper per square foot. I did use the vinyl on the coin door panel, and it came out looking really nice.

Which paint you use is FAR less important than your technique.
You'll get good looking results with pretty much any paint if you take the time to do it right.
Personally I use enamels, either proper oil based ones or the newer "latex enamels." Enamel used to mean strictly oil based, but these days there are latex's that'll give you just as tough and durable a finish as any oil based paint.
