carpet looks the best.. people who say paint usually can't carpet so they just paint.. I feel paint looks cheap and out of place inside a car..

I stained my first box, made of birch ply. Looked good, but was way too much work, won't do it again most likely. Carpet works fine for me.

either glass the outside and paint. stain if its birch. but if I dont have glass around or I dont want to glass it I just bondo the seams and paint. paint looks very nice inside of a vehicle, but that also depends on the interior.

Paint, Carpet, Vinyl, Bed liner etc.. personally I think carpet is over done.

For a trunk style build I like the carpet look to match the interior. SUV's with leather or vinyl seats I would use vinyl, and for a truck I would use a glossy paint.

Some guy at a comp told me he gained 2db from removing his carpeting.

I use this on about 95% of the boxes I build, $7/can at home depot iirc and it hides imperfections pretty well too.

I like spray on bed liner, but then again I can't carpet so?

Fleckstone paint can look pretty nice too

That's what the Krylone make it stone is.....hides any imperfections and looks great too.
