You might ask Rob Carmichael about his large plywood cages sealed with Contact Paper. See how they are holding up and what he likes and dislikes about them.

I mention this because he is over on the Indigo forum where you hang out and his cages are large and probably setup closer to what you'll use for Spilotes and Pseustes. Contact Paper previously has mostly been used in smaller and perhaps less decorated cages so the fact they have lasted a long time may not be relevant.
