Painting or Wrapping MDF

Recommended Posts

I was looking around at how I could go about finishing my box. Now this is a 10 cube box, but fully square. Since its MDF I would think it would be hard to paint. So I was searching and came up with four things I may be able to do. Spray/Roll on Bedliner(not sure if it's the same as paint), Carpet Wrap, Fur wrap, or Vinyl Wrap(hardest)

Now I have no upholstery expirence so wrapping my be a task, but it looks good when done right that's why it is a option.

I have used bedliner, but it takes three to four coats. I did like it.

I would carpet the box. Find carpet that is a close match to your cars interior.

I'm thinking if I carpet the box I might as well try to wrap it with vinyl or fur or something.

Vinyl is harder to work with. Carpet is much more forgiving. Stick with carpet or something similarly easy to work with if this is your first time.

I Always Try To Fiberglass It And Paint It, My Personal Preference. Nothing Wrong With Carpet/Vinyl/Bedliner Either Though.
