Hi, I'm the guy that painted his center channel. For black ash I used Krylon Fusion Black Satin for Plastic - I tested Gloss on a test piece and it was WAY too glossy for the B&W ash. Cost about $3 at Walmart. The hardest part was actually taping it up:
I started with real "thin" coats - it looked like I was just "dusting" it with black.
After a few ultra thin coats I started putting the coats on slightly thicker with each one until I ran out of paint.
I let each coat dry about 30 minutes.
After your final coat the texture will feel rough - buff smooth with a plain white tee shirt after drying at least an hour and a half (kinda like clay baring auto paint - takes all the rough deposits out). Although dry enough to buff, it's still not fully setup, be careful not to bump into anything because the paint will scratch off pretty easily at this point. It might not look solid and some areas will look darker than others - it wont turn a solid shade until it's fully cured.
Finished product:
Matches the stock black ash pretty damned good. Just one warning though - this paint takes up to a week to stop emitting nauseous fumes. It's nothing like say normal indoor ceiling paint that just smells like fresh new paint, it WILL give you migraines! :E- Bottom
