For use on and MDF speaker cabinet? I also want to know how thick this Bedliner paint goes on with each layer sprayed on? I hope to be getting close enough along in my speaker Project to consider the cabinet finishing products. Of course my younger brother has his ideas of using 1/4" birch cabinet plywood instead of one of the rather expensive PE Paper thin type Veneers, which are a bit pricey.

I wouldn't use any. DuraTex (www.acrytec.com) is far superior.

1) It doesn't stink.

2) It's thicker than Army coffee.

3) It doesn't stink.

4) It dries nice and fast.

5) It doesn't stink.

6) Just a couple of minutes with a foam roller, and you're done. If you can deal with the expense, just pitch the roller - no spray crap cleanup!

7) It doesn't stink.

8) It's a strong and durable coating.

9) It doesn't stink.

10) The rolled-on texture is very nice, and very forgiving of box imperfections.

11) It doesn't stink.

I've heard that that can be a problem with some of these finishes. ;)

The Duplicolor stuff is great, but it DOES stink pretty badly. If you can, I'd take these dudes' recommendations.

I've used Duplicolor a few times and never even noticed the smell. I never tried to use it indoors, but compared to the smell of contact cement, stain, poly and some of the other things we use in finishing, it didn't stood out to me as memorable.
