well ive been on avforums and someone suggested piano black

matt probably easier with the problems you can get with hairy mdf

i'm going to make sure that there is no problems with hairy mdy because i have bought a heavier weight mdf that finishes better and i have sanded everything for hours then i am going to prime it up and sand it some more then prime again sand again then send it to be sprayed where they will sand it between every coat anyway.

i was thinking of high gloss black and then the back panel something different but dont know what yet

ok youve used hdf

very difficult to suggest a second colour withought knowing the primary colour/finnish

my thoughts go to bold primary like red silver or dark orange

need to know the feel of the room as well

nah its mdf. just not the ultralight/caberlight stuff that everyone seems to sell now.

after a chat with stretch im going to paint it white and use colour LED's to back light it.
it is a perminent feture of the room so i dont want it to look dated quickly

hows the wall behind it decorated!!!

White is probably best. I would reckon that much electronics in one place would create a magnet for dust.Dust and dark colours, not good. It looks fantastic by the way, so much for K fitters all being failed joiners. D

wall behind it is just painted a neutral colour why?

[big-all]

needs to be a noticable shade different to the wall but obviously whilst fitting in

pointless going to all that trouble if it dissapears into the background
