If I remember right I think I used the same stuff as Plato. Or something similar to Krylon. It was the highest gloss paint I could find. Don't get the cheap stuff. Spend a few extra $$ to get the good paint. When I painted mine I used primer. I think I put 3 coats, sanding in between each one. I dont remember how many coats of black I used but I sanded between each one as well. I was using a fine grade of sand paper.
