99xtremedime Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 best finish is spreading on some body filler, sand, sand, sand, sand, primer, paint, clear. Looks like a car's exterior when done because it basically is. Really? I was thinking about doing that before i thought about resin but i figured body filler would crack all to shit.

HHR Ed Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Really?

Body filler is meant to go on a car body and boxes shouldnt flex to be able to crack it.

tejcurrent Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) I did part of an old box with a layer of resin, then bondo and sanded the crap out of it before painting. It turned out excellent. I was refinishing a floor in my house and had some left over varathane (polyurethane) and put some one some mdf. It dries really smooth, probably 2-3 brushed on coats would be a great surface to paint, though I'm only 1 coat into it now and there's a definite advantage to using that over primer. Just thought I'd try it because sanding that bondo/resin was time consuming as crap, and a bit more expensive if this floor crap works (it works on the floor pretty good lol). A few pics of the fiberglass/bondo method: Edited May 28, 2010 by tejcurrent Quote tejcurrent XS Power T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
