I cannot help but think that maybe you could build a new plinth, keeping the original as is. It is just painted MDF after all. That way you can keep your rig running until it is done! Possibly try out other materials as well.
VPI Scout finish question
I'm getting ready to paint my son's car within the next 2 weeks. I think I want to PAINT my mat black finish on my Scout something REALLY nice and shinny. My question is can the pebble grain finish be sanded super smooth???? Is it an applied finish that is will not hold paint? I DON'T care about resale...this will leave my house when they carry me out feet first.
