it is much easier than you would think to get a professional looking finish.

 

Totally agree. While mine might not be professional they are way more than acceptable.

 

I had no idea what I was doing. Got some auto bondo, basic supplies, read a bit, tested one piece and took my time. Time is the problem...it will cost you $1,000s because you don't do it every day. As long as you have the time you can get great results. I'm happy cutting a 2x4 but as a carpenter, zero skills. This was my first time around.

 

Speaker grills were in as a test fit when I took the pix, obviously not there during the actual work.

 

Lots of different options on veneer types and how to attach it. Read a bit, ask questions, make up your mind. Then just jump in with both feet. Textured black is so boring...unless a Frat house or a garage. I'd never put them in an actual living space.
