I'd also like to hear/see how you made those panels. Is this paint available to anyone? And in what colours. This could be the answer to my dilemma! I'm assuming you need a nice furniture grade plywood to spray to achieve that nice finish you have there. I love it btw.

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Thanks Josh, your cube was definitely inspiration. Everytime I saw it, I had to go work on mine hahah.

Brett, I bought the paint at a local autobody paint supply store. They will mix any colour for you, from Lamborghini Orange to the Honda silver that I got. The panels are made from MDF sheets. They were primed, painted and then followed by a few coats of clear, just like painting a car. You can get everything (primer, paint, and clear coat) in spray can form from the paint shop. I am just now sure how well it would work because we used a paint gun.

If you have anymore questions, do not hesitate to ask. I will try my best to answer them. New pictures will be up tomorrow.
