building up paint thickness after Nintendo enamel strip
ok, i picked up a cheap plywood DKjr that's been all hacked up. it has a Mario Bros. marquee, Vs. smoked bezel, Popeye CPO, Mario Bros. edge connector wiring harness, etc. it's a fairly solid working cabinet that i want to use as the basis for an eventual Double DK that's themed DK.
one side of the enamel was really trashed and the previous owner peeled it all off. of course now that side is rough and needs a bunch of patching and eventually a repaint. i'd really like to build the side back up to the level of the t-molding as the enamel had a pretty decent thinkness to it that's now missing. i snagged a sample of the formica laminate that Lowe's sells and it's way too thick, and there's no way i know of that i'd ever get a layer of bondo even across the entire side.
anyone have any suggestions? is there some super-thick primer that i can put a couple of coats on with that'll do the trick? i do not have access to a compressor and will need something that either can be rolled on or sprayed out of a can.
