Soccerballzs Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 The issue is where an exposed cut edge is. The cut edge will soak up paint like no other[/quoteThat is why you need a professional sanding sealer. Even on exposed edges. You must sand with fine sand paper between coats also. May take more then 2 coats of sealer http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4bannger Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Body filler is a good idea. I'm gonna have to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoFatt0529 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 When I do a small setup I can get by with joint compound, the stuff you use on drywall, BUT instead of using bondo on the end grain of your mdf you can take wood glue and thin it out with water like 50:50, when you thin it out me wood soaks it up more and goes down inside of the wood, so that way when you do your final sand you dont sand your body filler back down to the wood grain and you arent left with and ugly spot on your finished box!

KickerKid58 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I've noticed that a few good coats of primer goes a long way, especially with colors. I just used some old killz that was laying around and it worked great 06 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2 DC Level4 12" Soundstream TA1.3000d 4 RF Punch 6.5" Components 2 RF Punch 3.5" 2-ways RF Prime 400.4D XS Power XP950 +&-run of XScorpion 1/0 OFC My Civic Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritch40 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 i have done more than my fair share of body and paint work over the years. personally, i'd try and talk you into spending just a little more money. to start off (like others have said) scuff sand the entire box and get any filler work done. then id lay down 3-4 coats of mar hyde 2k high build primer (or something similair). block that down good. then a coat of some sort of 2 part sealer primer. Then i would use either a 2 part enamel ( such as dupont Centari or one of the cheaper 2 part single stage urethane paints) the biggest reason i would suggest going this route is the fact your project will turn out better and stay looking nice for a lot longer. Sure it is a little more money,but, i do think you will thank yourself in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritch40 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 another trick for sealing up end grain in to take a simple 2 part epoxy and (wearing gloves) work the epoxy into the end grain. it does take a little time to work it in there good, but, will do a wonderful job of sealing the end grain up.
