So I went with your advice(all who provided)...and gave it 2 coats of primer and 1 coat of spray paint, waiting to give it a second soon....looks good.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you didn't even sand it? looks a little rough to me.

you should have added body filler to all the edges where all the boards come together then sand the body filler to get a clean look. then i would have sanded the entire box down to get it nice and smooth. then prep with primer and paint.
