I stained a box for fun once and it came out better than I thought, but it still is pretty crappy looking. Try looking into fleckstone, hammered paint, or spray-on bedliner.
You got it man. Post up some pics when you get it finished; I may try out the hammered paint as well.Thanks for the input guys. I think you just convinced me to use the hammered paint. I've used it before on my bumpers/axles/springs ect., but wasn't sure how it would look on a sub box. I've got it downstairs already leftover from past stuff, so that's what I'll go with.
UCF52, thanks for posting the pics, you convinced me to go with hammered instead of ugly flat black.
I was just looking at your thread that has the Powerbass install in the Jetta, that is fleckstone inside of the amprack correct?I used fleckstone for the first time the other day, for now on I'll be using in to cover the insides of all ampracks and similar projects I do
No ****. WTF.why not just use some birch ply and stain it..rather than some mdf, i mean wtf
p00p indeed!Nice and brown....
Like poop....
Off topic, but you're not the only one on here with a Scout. I have a 1978 Scout II. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Except, I have a Scout II 'Selective Edition.' It's beat up, quite a bit, but I plan on restoring it, once I find another Scout.Well, I have to sand it down smooth anyway, so might as well see if it's possible/how it looks to stain MDF. I would assume the smooth layer would have to be sanded off, but i will be doing that anyway, and I would clear coat after if stained.
Building my box in shop class because the tools are set up vs digging through the shed to get to them, and can't test until Monday, and that's when I'd like to stain it if it's possible. If I don't like it, I can eventually carpet it, but I want to see if staining's possible first.
I'd appreciate any pics
cool, kind of surprised, I never thought someone into car audio would own a scout. Just figured i'm kind of an oddball:crazy: I'll post up a pic of mine in summer mode when I post the box pics.Off topic, but you're not the only one on here with a Scout.
