[QUOTE="thenoizeguy, post: 888135, member: 14345"] Nice. I would personally maybe just brace the original cabinet internally and try and seal it properly. Fresh glue on the joints etc. You could also add proper binding posts and use a thin weather strip between the rear panel and the cab. Then you will still be able to remove the rear panel, but it would seal far better. That cabinet looks like it is covered in a vinyl wrap ? There are some good plastic primers out there to create a good bond for a colour change. I would avoid Rustoleum satin or Canyon black. The paint reacts with the undercoat and doesn't seem to dry properly. I learn't the hard way when I resprayed some component covers recently. I had to strip all the paint off and start again. Good old Aerolak worked perfectly. Good luck [/QUOTE]
