Finaly painted fiberglass box, cut+buff

Best part about this is that all the products used for this box, except for the MDF, is bought from WALMART. Rattlecan primer/paint, sandpaper, fiberglass, etc.Just goes to show you that ANYBODY could get the stuff and most likely do a fiberglass box of their own.04 dodge neon SXT

I'm not looking at it in person, but for a rattlecan paintjob that looks great. Very nice work.Nik

Yeah really good job for spray can.  I'm trying to get a spray gun to paint my FG projects.(1) Kenwood Excelon Head Unit KDC-X589 (24 bit Burr Brown DAC, 3 X 4 volt RCA).

Yeah, and in person, it looks about 10000X better ;) It almost puts my stock neon paint job to shame! Same color, BTW. Just make sure to use Duplicolor if you use rattlecan... i dont know if there is anything comparable... probably is! but i have yet to find it. Also, you figure the price of canned paint to spray, making sure you have a good air compressor with filters, a spray gun... having to mix it... clean everything up... Unless you have the time and money (and equipment), rattlecan is just that much more worth it! The only problem that happened with the rattlecan was the clearcoat. It gathered on the end and dripped on the box... wetsanding took it out, but still a pain.04 dodge neon SXT

did you use the duplicolor clear too? Just curious, I'm a rattle can user too I used to use duplicolor when I was matching but now I've done things in the accent color of white and I pretty much use krylon now and it works pretty damn good, I just tried a different krylon triple thick clear glaze for clear coat; it claims to give the object your clearing depth and DAMN! they weren't lieing great gloss (more shiny than the car unless its freshly waxed!)and it sure is thick.go custom or go home!!

placid warrior - the triple glaze is at WalMArt I almost got it.  Excellent product (really thick I spreayed some on some plastics in the store).  Will definetley use it.(1) Kenwood Excelon Head Unit KDC-X589 (24 bit Burr Brown DAC, 3 X 4 volt RCA).

The reason most cars have lots of orange peel kno is because it is not a base/clear system, it is a paint that is called urethane enamel. This paint is sprayed on then it sets up, clear and base all in one. Also by the way sweet job and nice pics, but why is the bottom of the box missing?

Hey Nodestiny, nice job on the custom subs box.. can you give me some advice on how did you do it? The problem i'm having is spraying on the clear coat.. How many cans of clear coat did you have to use? And how did you make the clear coat spread out so evenly? I tried to put a clear coat on for my custom subs too but it turn out horrible. The clear coat was not distribute evenly and some part were more glossier than others. Could you give me some advice when putting clear coat on? THanks.
