Another important note: When you spray-paint, use a mask or a respirator. They're cheap, they look cool, and you'll live much longer, which means you'll be able to build more fun projects. Use a mask.



The box is nice and translucent, and there's no reason to change that. Getting it to conduct light will give it a "brighter than life" comic book feel.



I sanded the box a little, just so the paint had something to hang on to. There are a lot of corners which normally slow down the sanding process, but I didn't bother. Remember, we're building this quickly.



I did put tape over some parts to keep them from getting painted, so that the stick-up lights would stick well, and also over the panels we were going to put the lights near.
