why not use wood filler //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif (i always say "use the right product for the right application.... if its avaliable."

its gonna be a pain in the *** to paint a MDF box anyway- without using bondo. that wood is gonna **** up paint like a kenyan drinking coolaid.

you better get a few cans of primer before you paint. oh and by the way, its going to chip VERY eaisily. you also might wanna carpet the bottom so it dosnt slide around too =)

but good luck. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsupwink.gif.129404938effda6ad9cca39e7f4b58a3.gif

i dunno man, did you use regular house paint? sounds like you used a brush to apply, if you use SPRAYPAINT, its gonna take a few cans... its alot thinner and the wood just soaks it up.

if you gonna paint the box, use housepaint. will go on alot thicker and quicker.
