Building my boot build out of MDF, what is the best material to cover it with. No carpet as I want to use the same material to do the door panels where the carpet is inside the car.
Also do I need to put some sort of padding between the mdf and the top material???
Cheers

Another question
How do I get curves in the build?
Do I use mesh and cover with a form of plaster eg modrock then cover with fabric etc.

I am beginning to wish I had started my build this week slight mis-measure (fogot that the back seats fold to an angle) just needs a small alteration and it'll fit
