I would carpet it, it looks better than paint

paint it somehow? why not have it mach the car just go to a paint shop and have them do it (car paint shop )

sorry geuss i should of mentioned its an MDF box. is there any special preperations i have to do to the box to paint it(Car Paint, i have a spray gun and all that), i would like to try that if its possible. i have carpeted a box before, but i thought id try somethign diffrent..i might just end up carpeting if painting/preping will take to long, just checking my options, keep em commin, thnx.

yea i just got some cheap paint from the shop thats used for metal and sprayed that crap on there.... its sticking altho i should have done another coat or two and maybe sanded it some before i painted it but it still looks good.

just right on the wood?....it dosnt mess up the MDF like water does? it dosnt weaken it or anything?...sorry for all the questions, just dont wanna mess up my box, took a full sheet of MDF to make...thnx again

matt_p 10-29-2006 06:21 PM

Mat-Romain 10-29-2006 07:04 PM
