Box finish

[Dlongpine]

I am currently building a box for 4 12 inch speakers and I wanted to paint my Box instead of carpet.

Do I have to spray a sealant base on the wood first so it doesn't soak the paint or can I just paint the wood as is.

I am going to be using spray paint to paint my box

What would be another good options for a speaker box besides carpet?

if you want a Gloss automotive finish id recommend using some fiberglass resin and get a nice light layer across all the wood then the paint can stick instead of just soak in or your gunna go thru alot of paint then sand and sand and sand body fill paint WET sand

I covered my last box in Bondo, sanded, then primed and painted.

What kind of finish do you want?

I would prime 1-2 coats sand it prime again If you want a smoother finish sand it again until all you see is primer and not wood you might need several caots of primer if your using mdf then spray paint it

Or you can use some bondo

I agree that resin seems like a good way to go for the initial coat. Bondo will be needed to get a level finish.

On the last pic it looks like it was wrap

That's what someone else said. It's definitely just paint. He wanted flat black so I did that for him. It's a fellow member on here, Agreene. He will be happy with it I hope.

that paint job looks awesome!!! must be the rounded out corners that give it that wrapped look....
