Hi Rick,maybe it's done the old fashioned way with handsaw & plane then sanded to the chamfer edge lines with progressively finer sanding. Your finished speaker box looks more modern than the plain square item at the top. James.
I'm guessing a two part gloss epoxy. My son who has been into making speakers for quite a few years now had me do a matte epoxy finish for him once. I used a cheap spray gun in case I couldn't clean it out.Judging by the amount of dust on the floor, alot of sanding was done...I'm thinking James pretty much got the right idea as to how it was done. What impress's me is the finish. DAMNNNN!!! I'd love to what that schedule consisted of.
I was guessing an expoxy was at the root of things....Still an impressive application to say the least. Especially over a core like MDF. Reflections don't lie, this is one fine job.I'm guessing a two part gloss epoxy. My son who has been into making speakers for quite a few years now had me do a matte epoxy finish for him once.

I have a 6 x 108 vertical sander that might do the facets if I lowered the table way down and added a larger surface so that I could tip the box and still have it on the table. But hand sanding might be easier in the long run. Just mark the extents of the facets on face and edges and sand to the lines.
Wow... painted? I guess that MDF is more resilient to moisture than I suspected. Perhaps a quick drying primer as a base coat....Regarding the finish . The builder was asked and replied that he took it to a body shop where they painted it .
I didn’t know those cuts were called facets ? I asked him how he cut the angles , but he hasn’t replied
MDF paints very well. It will soak up some extra on cut ends, but a mix of wood glue and water brushed on and lightly sanded helps prevent this.Wow... painted? I guess that MDF is more resilient to moisture than I suspected. Perhaps a quick drying primer as a base coat....
