Finish it up by waxing it with a little car wax.
I used a textured spray paint to make it like that. Kinda leaning towards a more smoother look now tho. After i sand it i kno i'll have a lot of misperfections in the texture, you think i could fill those in with bondo pretty easily or what? How do you work the sandpaper around the curves as not to cut too much into the bondo? I think those two things are my major concern with redoing them.... any help would be much appreciated.

It probably depends if the textured paint can be sanded. If it can then you wouldn't have to redo the whole thing just the clear coat; however, if this does not work than you would have to redo it. If you use a large enough grit that can take out the pits and then keep working your way to 2000grit you should be fine...the problem is knowing what grit to use...maybe try 800 to start off with but I'm not sure how big you can go before it starts to take off the textured paint and starts to show the material underneath. I would probably wetsand the material by using a soap water mixture like I said before. Just keep sanding until you remove all of the pits. It'll look really hazy but then use some rubbing compound and a little car wax to give it the shine after you clear coat it of course. I don't really think I can help you any more than that...sorry. And I wish the best of luck to you I'm sure there are many people on here that can be more helpful though.

From what ive noticed.. you guys are going the tap mount... its ugly and bulbous... get low profile inset mounts.. kenwood and kicker have nices.. and drill that out and flush mount em.. little bit more work but looks way better and uses the door as a baffle.. sounds better...

Actually the reason mines are molded into those panels is so i could do that. I made them to fit the JL tweeters if i rememebr correctly. My friend just happened to have a set of tweeters laying around so im just using them temporarily.
