Sorry Simon - I thought I'd already replied to this!! Anyway - just black spray paint is what I used. Then I went with a clear lacquer over the top of that. I'm tempted to sand it all back to the wood and start again, this time using black stain. The finish now looks like when mud dries in the desert. It looks kind of cool, but not what I was going for, so I need to ponder my options ...
