Q: Will these cabinets perfectly fit my vehicle?
A: All overhead cabinets have a curved backing and curved top to fit the factory curvature of the vehicle. While this will fit most wall paneling/ceiling setups, minor modifications may be required to install these cabinets with builds utilizing furring strips.
It is strongly recommended that this cabinet is mounted using rivet nuts.
Q: How do I apply paint, stain, or sealer?
A: Painting:
- Lightly scuff the entire cabinet surface that you plan on coating with 120-180 grit sandpaper.
- Apply 2-3 coats of primer before applying your main coat.
- Always apply a finish when you're happy with the paint to get a long-lasting appearance.
A: Staining:
- Sand the surface on all faces with sandpaper traveling with the grain of the wood.
- Apply stain very cautiously to a section of the cabinet that will not be visible to gauge the volume and pressure you need to achieve the look you want.
- Apply stain evenly with a rag, sponge, or spray gun until all surfaces are coated.
- Please note that overlapping surfaces may make the stain darker on the overlapped areas.
- Always apply a finish when you're happy with the stain for a long-lasting appearance.
Q: Is the wood color consistent across orders?
A: A lumber pattern is not guaranteed. This comes from raw lumber and varies in tint, shade, and grain. Minor defects in the veneer also occur occasionally, and we make a great effort not to use any lumber with serious flaws.
The ends are made from natural wood, not veneer. For this reason, you may see small gaps (~0.075") at the ends and centers of your cabinet sections. These may be filled with putty, painted over, or ignored.
