HatersGonnaHate Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Pretty much... Biggest difference is that the mdf soaks up more paint than fg, so seal all of the cut edges with bondo or something similar My name is AdamThis is my Civic Build.7" Samsung Tab 2Kenwood KDC-X896Clarion EQS746Sundown X-15DC 3.5k @2ohmHatersGonnaHate's 02 Civic UBLELD Bypass for Honda Civic/Accord/FitDon's Jeep Grand Cherokee Rebuild N8ball2013 - i think you'd stick your dick in a blender if it told you it was 40 wtih two kids your age. lol srp365 - If posting were picking up bitches, I'd be going home single tonight looks like tony montana sneezed in your car.

GiAnT4LYFE Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Do this: 1. Sand surface smooth with no deep scratches (use filer if needed) 2. Prime 2-3 coats sanding with 320 grit between 3. Spray Color coat, use light coats many layers sand at the last coat with 400 grit and spray one more layer and sand with 600 grit or 1000 grit 4. Now spray clear coats several thin layers and sand after 5-10 coats with 600 1000 and 2000. 5. Then Buff with rubbing compound, then swirl compound (maybe one or another) and later after a couple week cure you can use car polish or a jewelers rouge... Use quality spray paint. Spray on thin layers at a time. 8-12" away from the surface. And follow the directions on the materials you're using. If it says to let cure for 4 hours, let it cure for that time, if not more. End result: Winning. Not my piece of wood, but this started as MDF and ended up looking like a mirror surface just by following the steps above. That finish on that is amazing, and has given me s great idea for my 4th order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatersGonnaHate Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Get yourself a scrap piece of wood and practice on that so you know that you can get it done. It'll probably take you about a month to get that kind of finish on the entire box lol.

kingsuv Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I use an enamal and roll it on after that I can use a spray to add a accent color like flexstone or whatever. I use a small foam roller to get a nice application. IMO a bare wood port just sucks. Even if it a white, it gives it a more professional finish. Also think about a double baffle so you can flush mount the subs. It doesn't cost much if any more then a single but the end result is a far better finish for the customer.
