Celica Forums General Discussion Interior Question about wood

If i were to make a custom trunk setup... is it possible to paint wood so it is glossy and nice looking... or would it just be better to wrap it in fabric

i think wrap in a cotton tee, use fiberglass resin on it. use some filler, sand it smooth. paint ti and you ahve a sweet lookn box

I wanna do that but i found out fiberglass and resin is frekkin expen$ive

But i think this summer i might end up working on one

I'm doing a enclosure the base is a mdf wood which opens so i have access to my spare then the sides are fiberglass material and what i'm doing is doing a small layer of fiberglass on the mdf and painting it the same color of my car along with the fiberglass enclosure. I'll have pics up when its done

yea nd post an install too
waht do you think you will be done? i want to do prettymuch the same ur talking about

when i built mine out of wood i carpeted it...looks flipin great...

use vinyl on the wood =P

just wrap it w/ fabric

depends on the wood you use, standard MDF if you are good at painting can turn out smooth as a babys ass, just throw on primer/filler, the thick stuff, like 3 coats, sand it with 600/800, 4-5 coats of paint, 3 coats of clear, and that bitch will be shiny as hell
