Building a box...need help deciding on a covering

[dsmbasshead]

Ive got my wood cut and all, and my ports should come in any day so I'm gonna start building soon but im stuck on covering the box....I like the idea of carpetting but its very common and i definantly want this to look custom. I already bought fabric adhesive but I still have the reciept so I can take it back and exchange it for something. Im not opposed to painting it but ive heard MDF doesnt look good painted. Ive seen vynal coverings(like leather) but I'm not sure how I feel about those. Im leaning towards some sort of spray on covering like a paint or maybe a bedliner or primer or something. I just want it to look custom but I'm not apposed to carpeting. I just need some ideas....

vinyl has been starting to get popular but if you want to go with a real custom approach leather is good or you can use shag carpet :-D

resin the outside of the box and sand it down then paint it if you like painted.

probably the most "custom" look would come from fiberglass

painting mdf sucks, you have to seal it first, resin would be the easiest thing for that and it comes out nice

vinyl can also be sick if done right. Cut out a logo and throw it on there and all the sudden it looks hella custom

just makes things look legit, especially if your interior is vinyl/leather
