What is the best procedure/paint to use to paint a box.

I like the painted look versus carpet.

Any experiences?

how far away are you from doing this? I have been contemplating, what to do?

I've never worked with bondo before but I can pick some up at work.

Just any bondo? Is there a special way of applying it?

The top coat is primer or is do I add a additional coat on top of that?

Thanks.

The gay UPS lady slammed the thing down like a hot potato on my porch. Little did she know I was sitting in the car watching the whole time.

She put a nice little chip in one of the corners.

primer + spray-on bedliner. Without the primer, the bedliner won't stick.

A piss load of primer, a shit load of paint, and a whole lot of wet sanding. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

(prior to wet sanding)

I NEVER use primer with spray on bedliner, and I've never had an issue.

had it for 3 weeks all good, no resin we did it the same way u paint the car , i dont know how ur paint will stand up to the vibration we added a few extra drops of flex additive when making the paint , but the bond wont brake as long as its not to thick thats why bondo got a bad rap bad body shops would not pull the dent out of a car just put on a boat load of bondo . bondo wasnt made to fill in big dents or gaps but instead it was made to smooth out any lil wrinkles . so when people would tap the part with the bond a big chunk would fall off. sorry for any typos
