baaudio Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 my plan is to fill all the screw holes with wood filler then a couple layers of kilz primer and paint. but between all those steps ill be sanding and what not but i need some help from you guys on what grit of sandpaper and what wood filler works well. i want the box to be white as well, so can i just leave the primer or should i paint it too? im not looking for a mirror finish but id like a smooth glossy look. what do you guys recommend?

cubs_fan0718 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I switch between 60 80 and 100 grit papers, and i also use elmers wood filler that works for me and its relativly cheap. Painting MDF is my least favorite thing to do cause it seems like it takes alot of paint, but i still do it anyways. A recommendation of paint i really dont have one since i use Rustoleum Stone Accent Paints and you want just regular paint.
