Having the boxes appear to float on the bases is a nice detail

I guess my pic gets the prize of worst lighting :)
White automotive paint on mdf enclosure. (Mdf was because they were supposed to be proof of concept only, but the result was too good)

Automotive undercoat.
The prep work was a PITA though.
The cabs were actually painted alongside a Lamborghini Miura that was being painted the same color (Glossy white).
I have a picture somewhere showing both in the paint booth but I can't seem to find it :D

hajj, nice ones! I have gone very similar way, but my proof of concept was made of wooden panels, second build I decided to use mdf (there were cheap opportunity to cnc the mdf I decided not to miss, just to compare), and also covered them with white spray paint - great minds think alike ) I've did rounded edges though )) Just got to reinstall the drivers and post pics...

Thanks!
I actually went for automotive paint because it seemed much easier than veneer.
I had the panels CNC'd for cheap (cost me around 55$ including the MDF cost)
I had planned to round the corners, but it would have made the prep work much harder. So I settled for the look you have here.
Next set (A10.2 pensils) will be rounded over and painted glossy black :)

I'm torn actually. Extra LF extension is attractive, but I'm sat here with the 10p's and I want for nothing, it's delicious. On the other hand :) I've repeatedly found on this journey, that I didn't know something was missing until I found it :D

Probably the super P rather than put myself in the position of ever asking

"what if"?

I'm also going to experiment with multiple dowels for bracing.
