February 23, 200916 yr Bump.....Never bump when you could be finishing the box and posting more pics.
February 23, 200916 yr 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.
February 24, 200916 yr Author 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 LightsBut You Had To Be 18 To Buy The Paint. But We Cut Out The Hole For The Plexiglass And Sanded A Big MorePut 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 LikeAny Ideas For What Color ?Blue? Red ? Bright White ?
February 24, 200916 yr 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.
February 24, 200916 yr 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.....
February 24, 200916 yr 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.
February 24, 200916 yr 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..
February 24, 200916 yr 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.
February 24, 200916 yr 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...
