what to surround my box with?

[78nova]

well i was started thinking today at school, what should i do to make my box look good, i mean the look of MDF just doesnt cut it for me, so i was thinking if i should carpet it, but then,BOOM i had an idea, i was thinking if i could put linoleum around the box like 2 layers worth and spray paint it red or another color, will this work or are my ideas just stupid, i kinda dont want to carpet for my box because it is to original, what else could i do besides carpet and fiberglass

thanks

Vinyl, leather, women, truck bed liner?... they would all make it look spiffy

vinyl is its not a normal shaped box (like custom fiberglass box)... carpet if its a plain jane rectangle or wedge box...

If you use linolium and try to bend it on the corners it will rip and tear a lot. linolium is meant for a pretty straight surface I beleive.

what exactly is linoleum...

[carolinaACCORD]

Linoleum was invented in England in 1863 by Frederick Walton who coined the name linoleum from the Latin name, linum, which means flax, and oleum, which means oil. Later in the century, Michael Nairn, a flooring manufacturer in Kirkcaldy, Scotland perfected the flooring, introducing qualities such as inlaid patterning — a feature seen today.

Linoleum is a flooring that is manufactured by oxidizing linseed oil to form a thick mixture called linoleum cement. The cement is cooled and mixed with pine resin, and wood flour to form sheets on a jute backing. The term, linoleum is often used incorrectly to describe any sheet flooring, when in fact flooring can be made from other materials such as polyvinyl chloride.
