Ok this will be a work log of 2 boxes. 1.09@29Hz and 1.00@43Hz. Both are getting the same treatment, gloss black finish which will hopfully have a mirror like finish when I'm done. I'll go through every process I do with pic's and descriptions so this will also be a tutorial in a way, so sit back enjoy!!
Got sanders???
Got sand paper???
Ok this is the 1.00@43 we'll call it "box B" This box is quit rough as you will see in following pics. It is the box you see in my sig, I did not like how my 1st paint job was so I scraped all the paint of with a plain. This casued some uglies which you will see shortly...
This is just a shot of the box from a couple feet away, its ready to be sanded...
See how rough and ugly it looks, we'll be taking care of this with 60 grit paper
Hmmm look any better??? This is after an hour or so worth of sanding.
Ok now to screw holes, the one on the left was from the original build, its good, the one on the right was just recently done, but not sanded yet...
The drill got away from me a little bit and the holes went deeper then planed, now worry, it is easly fixed...
See all better, but it still needs finish sanding...
Ok here is the box after 60-150-320 grit, you can't tell the differnce with pic's but you can deffently tell the difference by feel. Its as smooth as a babies bottom!
Ok now here is "box A" (1.09@29Hz) This is the 4th layer of paint which was sanded last night with 320grit. Notice how the box is almost totaly dull, this is very improtant for getting the next coat...
