I just got done with my 180, I used rustoleum flat black spray paint and I couldn't be happier. I've rolled it on in the past, but it was less hassle with the spray paint. Hope this helps.

same here, just plain old black spray paint. Do it where there's no wind, or overspray will give you gray hairs.

If you're spraying, I suggest covering the top with plastic and taping it down along the top to avoid getting paint spatter inside.
