paint suggestion?

[Dave Jones]

I searched, but suprisingly came up empty.

Can someone recommend some kind of crinkle paint or something that will put a respectable finish on MDF with a minimum of work and skill?

... and I thin que very much.

Dave,

I used Stone Creations that you can buy at Home Depot
or Lowes. See my speakers here:

It takes a little preparation, but it really looks good.

E-mail me with questions...

I like hammer finish spray paint. Available at Home Depot. Hides minor blemishes. Fairly glossy. Limited color selection, though.

I have an old recipe for painting speaker boxes using
that stone paint mentioned previously.

1-2 coats white primer
1 or 2 coats of desired colored house paint, perhaps gloss
would look nice. (oil or latex you choose).
1 'sprinke coat' of stone paint.

Stone paint: The trick is to do only partial coverage, not
100% coverage as it will 'paint over' your finished paint.

You stand back far away when straying the stone paint
using quick 'blasts' so you get 'sprinkles' on top of your
painted finish. Not too little, not too much. Uniform application.
This gives you an interesting look.

Ideally, if your base color is dark, you use light colored stone
paint. If the base color is light, you use dark color stone
paint for good contrast.

Wild card idea;
You use fluorescent spray paint as your base color instead of
using the colored house paint. Probably 2 coats of primer
in this situation.
