chapo123 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 okay so i want to get that glossy black mirror finish on my sub box.. BUT its expensive and alot of work and prep to get it that way.. soo i was wondering if there are alternatives? i heard you can use kitchen laminate or something? whats that stuff? is it expensive? hard to use? where to find? basically this is asking about "laminating" your sub box? please someone go into detail.. thanks.. Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested in finding this stuff out too. Wouldn't making a shiny boxy just consist of Paint + lots of clear coat? Get the ghetto chameleon paint job in a can and do a box.
