Laminate or Paint?
Zeosstud:
I am a big fan of laminate, to me personally it just looks better. I have however seen pictures of some of the paint jobs people have done and they are simply amazing. So if you have any skillz then paint away, if not (like me) laminate is a very good option. Being a spoiled American I can always go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a big sheet, usually 3-5 colors to pick from. A warning, when they say that the laminate adhears immediately they are NOT joking.

Paint the laminate unless it's falling off or broken.

I vote for laminate. It looks great, is easy to apply and is super durable. Locating it isn't a problem. You can get it from Home Depot. They have a few basics in stock, like black and white, and pretty much everything else from Formica, WilsonArt and another that starts with a P, can be ordered from them and picked up in a few days.
Check out the Wilsonart website to get an idea of all the cool colors they have available.

cheers guys. We dont have a home depot here in Australia but I think Bunnings Warehouse is about the same thing.
I will chat with my father at the rugby league this weekend, being a painter & decorator I am sure he will be able to tip me off

Ah...didn't realize you were on the other side of the planet, but yeah....you'll have something. If you don't have a big do-it-yourself warehouse that carries it, just call a local cabinet-maker and they'll be able to fix you up. Either one will have little swatches of most of the colors they can order in for you.
