I have been reading up tonight and still have no clear answer to the finish. I want to use my HVLP sprayer, but I've only used it once before and it was with Rustoleum Enamel, but I have been reading to stay away from that. Automotive finishes scare me a bit, and the next options seem to be from Behr, Sherwin Williams, or something similar. I am thinking a satin black since it is a sub. If it was prominent speakers, I would probably go a little more towards gloss.

I think that I will have to spend a little time at Home Depot in the morning to see what the paint folks say. I know that I will have to thin it no matter what I do, but I am just at a loss as to a readily available product that is "easy" to spray, and will yield good results.

I need to find out if it is OK to use exterior paint on the sub. I know that the fumes are more toxic, but I am spraying it in the garage and can easily air it out (plus I have a decent respirator).
