Hello all, I've built a box for my two kicker 10's and i'm painting it. So far i tried to put some primer directly onto the mdf and it just sucked it right up. As of now the box has 2 coats of KILZ odorless oil-base primer. I'm thinking that i'll sand that down and put like 2 or 3 coats of a dark sandable primer on top of that and then put a couple of dark green base coats to match my truck. I found some rattle cans that are pretty close to identical to my truck paint from advance auto. After that i want to clear coat the paint to make it look nice and glossy. Does this sound like a good plan? And could i find some spray-on clear coat in a rattle can anywhere? Any help is appreciated!!!

Resin the inside and outside instead of using primer.

Other than sanding the resined parts down, no, because you didn't ask of much else and there isn't much to painting, I mean, hold the stick right and use newspapers to keep your shoes clean? Get the resin smoothed out. It will stop air leaks and strengthen it, primer won't.

you could just put high-gloss on top of the resin and primer instead of worrying with clear coat. get the expensive rattle can , not the cheap stuff
