Bump.....

Never bump when you could be finishing the box and posting more pics.

as for the "glowing" look, im not totally sure, but etching, or even going to a sign shop, and asking for etch type vinyl should refract the light and make that part stand out...just shoot the light from the side, and it should show up while the rest stays clear.

So Today After School Me And My Brother Went Up To Hobby Lobby To Get Some Flouresent White Paint To Make The Inside Glow With Lights

But You Had To Be 18 To Buy The Paint.

But We Cut Out The Hole For The Plexiglass And Sanded A Big More

Put On Some More Coats Of Paint And Threw In Some Pics For Yall

Heres What It Looks Like So Far And What The Light Might Possibly Look Like

Any Ideas For What Color ?

Blue? Red ? Bright White ?

Its lookin good.....how did that metallic textured paint work out on the front piece, it doesnt look like theres much texture to it from the pics, but i still wanna paint mine with that stuff.

[ADK 0]

and as for the lighting in your enclosure I would make the color of the light whatever the interior of the car has the most accent of.....

[elblako91 1]

We decided not to use the metallic paint and instead we just used gloss black paint. 97 cents a can. Right now we are just debating on weather to go with LED or NEON and we are also waiting for the plexiglass.

[ADK 0]

id go with led....they can be really small but powerful, easy to hide inside the box compared to neons....but diud you guys do anything with filling in all the screw holes and what not or can you still see it underneath the paint..

[elblako91 1]

We might fill them in with wood putty or it might look better if we remove all the screws and then paint it and then put in the screws again so they stand out all chrome like.

that would be such a pain to do that.....i think it would look much better all the same color but i would love to see what it looks like after that plexi i always wanted to do that...

Heres A Couple Of Pics Of My Room Speakers That We Decited To Paint With The Textured Mettalic.

Here Is What It Looks Like.

Enjoy

P.S. The Speaker On The Left Looks Bad Cuz Of The Lighting But It Looks Exactly Like The Right

looks good...did you like the outcome of the textured look or what..??im wondering if i should do that to my box or not..

[Kent535 25]

It Looks Really Clean And Smooth.

I Would Recommend It If Your Doing A Big Box

However It Is A Bit Pricey.

Its $18 A Can :o :o
