Hi,
I am almost at the "putting it altogether" phase of my first DIY sonosub. I am wondering what paint options people have used.
I have MDF endcaps with 1/4" roundover on the exposed parts. I am interested in a black finish.
Does MDF paint well with a brush, or do I really need to go spray? I live in a new construction nieghborhood and don't really want to be spraying in my driveway with all the dust thats around. Spraying in my garage with the door closed is also not a good idea.
I like the look of the piano-like finishes but not the effort.
Do I want to go flat, eggshell or highgloss paint? Should I do a final coat of lacquer-like stuff to protect the paint?
I am interested in what various people have done and how satisfied they have been with the results. This stage could have a big impact on the already sketchy SAF so its important!
Thanks
