Looks good, real simple too. Are you going to spraypaint or carpet that? Or go for the unfinished look?

he is gonna add a bedliner type of textured paint to it...Make sure you spray paint the box flat black before adding the textured paint if your using the spray on style....

Looks like a badass lake their next to.

yeah I saw that too...looks pretty nice...

yeah grandpa is pretty wealthy so he owns the lake and all the property around it and let like 6 or 7 friends build houses on the other side of the lake. then he got that insane golf cart to navigate all his land and make travel to his 3rd garage (where he stores his 51 belaire) easier.

but in other words...yeah thats my toy poodle phoebe and i love the way it sounds.

also with the spray on textured paint do you have any other tips other than a layer of flat black first. and sanding involved?

With textured paint it covers up a lot of flaws in the box. I like to cover the screw holes with bondo or some type of filler, sand with 60-100 over the seems, primer an then paint. With fleckstone if you do thin layers youll sometimes see the seems through the paint. Other than that its pretty easy to work with.

nice thanks. ill be using the fleck stone for sure now. how many layers of it would you think to be best?

 

[Wkbdkid 10+ year member]

I do 2 thick layers. Spray a coat wait 15 minutes spray another, let that completly dry an do it once again.
