Question about building custom console out of metal

[scherp69]

I'm planning on starting my console soon. I debating on whether to build it out of metal or mdf. Either way, when I'm done it I will probably wrap it in leather. How hard is it to wrap a metal one in leather. I know with mdf, it could just be stapled or glued. How would I wrap a metal one though? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Also, any thoughts on metal vs mdf would be great also. Thanks in advance.

I vote you make it out of metal and then paint it. That's what I did.

you can glue it to metal just like mdf

my buicks 66 dash pad is metal under the vinyl

My interior guy (William Fonseca at 1Off Rides) wrapped some aluminum parts for me. Same technique as MDF.
