caszboy Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Ok, this is my first time EVER creating a radio mount for a car. i have built sub boxes and other stuff and this was by far the hardest just because the center council is concave. This made it kind of hard as far as sanding goes. but anyways... Here are some pics of the work in progress. I did the test fitting for it today and its going to look great IMO! What do y’all think? Also, i have a radio, im just using the CD changer to help with the fab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszboy Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 here is a new pic with the cameleon stereo installed. I used the cameleon just because it doesn't 'stand out' but i still get all the modern tech I'm used to. the ruff line will be hidden once i screw the center console in place. once i paint it black i think it will turn out good. the stereo should just kind of blend in with the rest of the car.

jvillarreal Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 great job, just need a little paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszboy Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 yeah, im just going to paint it flat black to match the rest of the interior. question though, should i primer then paint? if i do flat black should i clear coat? i have always just painted it in the past for sub boxes and stuff butt this will be exposed to sun light all the time and i don't want it to fade.

uccreepanddrums Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 i would primer, flat black, and clear(maybe a couple of coats)....make sure not to get cheap clear because it will bubble if exposed to uv rays and will look like s!@# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definetly primer, it will make the finished product look consistent and very nice. This is going to sound like common sense, but just in case: do NOT buy a gloss clear coat, make sure you get a SATIN clear coat. If you buy a gloss clear, and put it on a flat black, guess what your flat black is going to look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caszboy Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 lol, i didnt even think about that reddeth. thanks for the heads up. im going to paint it this weekend. i had to put the deck in just to have music. im currently thinking of plans to put some 6 1/2' rockford speakers in there. right now the PO had a house speaker in there from an old radio. I HAVE to get that fixed, its horrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
