CarAudioFab Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Side note: No matter how you tackle this you are going to need to shoot a ton of high build primer. -Mark Host of "CarAudioFabrication" - YouTube Car Audio Tutorial Channel Check out my forum section here on SMD for my builds and tutorial videos!

BIGlep Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 You can also resin the exterior of the box as well, and sand it smooth and do a final sand with 220-400 grit paper to remove any large scratches in the resin. You could also fill the edges with bondo as well, dry wall mud would be the easiest to sand. Never used it on mdf myself but seems like a great idea. Here are a few of the ones I painted, I used a HVLP spray gun on these ones. This black box was just a quick coat, nothing to fancy just wanted to spruce it up for the chick a little before we put it in her car. A nice smooth glossy paint job on this one and the next one. This box was built into the car, and spraying paint wasnt an option. This was done with foam mini rollers, and lots of wet sanding between coats to keep the paint smooth! I used FoamPro roller pads, these ones to be exact http://www.menards.com/main/paint/brushes-rollers-trays/roller-covers/foam/foampro-foam-roller-fine-finish-6-inch-10-pack-refill/p-1473853-c-8115.htm So did you use resin on all of those excluding the first black one? The camera diminishes black paint quality but that white looks incredible. Are you using primer over the resin?

audiofanaticz Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Yea, All I use is brad nails for boxes. It has about 7 sheets of 3/4 mdf and the special mdf corners I use on occasion. It took me and 3 other people to put it in the truck without woofers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
