I want to make my jukebox have the appearance of a plastic shell or at least a super smooth glide and feel.  Is it possible and/or feasible to add some sort of plastic coating or fiberglass to my finished frame?  Do companies do that sort of thing, or better yet, can I successfully?

MajorHavoc:

It is possible to fiberglass over wood.  Just be prepared for lots and lots and lots of sanding, filling, sanding priming, sanding...well you get the picture.

ugh..................... :-\  I plan on doing some heavy research on this one.  I'm only building one juke.

Several coats of paint at an auto body shop.

Good idea.  That may just work.
