Hey, it looks GOOD! What "plastic filler" did you use? I need something to install my dynaudio tweeters in the factory tweeter location, but I want to angle them towards me a little bit, so I need a plastic filler of some kind to do this. Yours looks good. Also, did you have to paint it, and what did you use. Thanks
yes, theres ALOT of sanding and a little painting. I used Krylon paint, semi-flat, as soon as i get my new touchscreen off ebay and i redo it again, im going to use ultra-flat, i think it might match a little better. The name of the plastic filler putty is "White Putty" which i got from a local hobby store, $3.50 a tube which would redo the whole thing probably 3 or 4 times. just remember to use different grits when your sanding. i didnt think it was a big deal, but when you have everything as smooth as you think it could be, try sanding it with some ultra-fine sandpaper one last time, and you'd be amazed at how much better it looks.
anyway here is what i did, using the plastic filler putty, I filled in all cracks and covered the whole front of the plastic with a thin layer, adding if i needed.
VERY IMPORTANT: let it dry over night, cause this stuff is a pain if you sand one layer then get some wet putty. sand it smooth to the shape you want, you can add putty if you need.
Prime, sand with very fine sandpaper (220 grit works) then first layer of color, dont spray thick coats, on your first coat you should be able to see some primer through the color. sand inbetween coats, then your done when you got it painted how you want.. sorry if this was kinda long.
