Cracker Jack Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'm building a little entertainment center for my room just to have a few speakers on it with a receiver, I was wondering how I could be able to stain it the color I want. I've read online for like 45 minutes on how people just did one coat and others did 12 coats sanding after each coat and etc. Etc. Any advice on how to do it, the steps, and what stain I should is greatly appreciated. If it matters I'm going for a black-ish semi gloss, thanks.

Tarball Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) I would use stain on real wood to bring out the grain. For MDF just paint, carpet or even cover in vinyl.

Loslam Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah staining isn't really going to bring out anything on MDF. You'll just want to paint it for your color preference Here's some help: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/90067-how-to-paint-wood-mdf-to-a-high-gloss-mirror-finish-with-a-spray-can/ Quote 1997 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab, 350 Vortec Things to come at some point...

Cracker Jack Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I guess I could use carpet. I just don't want it to look weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
