I'm making a motor cover for my old Powermatic TS so that it can have cabinet DC.
I'm making it out of 3/4" MDF (because I have a bunch of scraps laying about). I am doing a very precise job and intend to hide the seams and paint to match the saw cabinet. I want a nice smooth finish that looks like metal.
I figured I would fill any voids with Durhams wood putty, light sand and few coats of sanding sealer (which is laquer I think). Then, spray the vista green enamel on top.
Does this sound like a good approach- specifically, will enamel behave when sprayed onto sanding sealer? Maybe I should prime it with kilz or something.
Opinions?
