Assuming you do both correctly, they should be look about the same. Cost-wise, vinyl will be more expensive. Effort wise, painting is much more time consuming. Skill wise, painting can be difficult to get a smooth coating. Vinyl is technically much easier and less time consuming, but if you screw up the vinyl you would be out more money to fix it.

It will cost between $500-$1000 to cover a cab in printed vinyl.

 :dizzy: Personal I don't have that much money to cover my whole cabinet in vinyl.  What im going to be doing for my second cabinet is have the control panel artwork and marquee done and paint the sides with a nice black paint and use custom decals for the details.  It looks great and is a lot cheaper.   Of course this wont work with all designs because they have to be rather simple.
