How do you guys get the seams not to show up when painting them? Sorry i know it's a noob ?,I always use rhino liner so it hides them. But wanting to make a bad *** looking painted box. Here are some of my first boxes with heap from wal mart roll on rhino liner 45 a gallon does like 5 boxes

i use lots of sanding and filler.

seams are a no no and make a box look cheap IMO

Here's one that I didn't really take any time on. The shitty stencil = boredom at the time after I took it out.

ok so bondo huh. I am wanting to make a very clean box for my budds explorer. Plan on using just reg house paint rolled on maybe with some texture. Now i need to search to find out what to use i saw latex and another one at wal mart cant remember what it was. Might go with kilz as I've read good things about it. What do you guys use for paint?

I've been playing with some cutout designs like that. You could have easily made the rest of that look good....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

First off, nice box. Did you build that one yourself?

I can think of some great designs to complement that flare. I only wish I had tools to build that

That's definatley a classy look. Would go well in a "clean look" show car. Does seem a bit impractical for a daily driver though as that would get scratched to hell in a matter of days

Still one of my favorite looks

Depends on what your going for. I usually always lay down base coats using spray paint. If it's an intricate painting something like latex works well, easy to work with, paint over and can provide some cool textured effects.

As for getting rid of seems, I just use some standard wood filler. Be sure to countersink those screws too

Yeah, I had big plans for it, but got burnt out on it after some stuff went down.

Most of my boxes are ***** now though as I tend to change alot.

Sadly that's the case for me right now. I rushed to get my last box in and have yet to take it back out to dress it up.

If you still have that box finish it up! Be cool to see another "different" painted box
