I used rtv black, holds up pretty well, just gotta get some tape going real tight while it cures. You could use some light scuffing with fine grit sandpaper to get better grip too. I didn't have to my clear coat is gone hah!

Well its been a while but I finally did a little more work...

First got some new subs. 2 10" MTX Thunder4500s on an 800w Pioneer amp. Absolutely POUNDS in the truck... Picked em up with the enclosure for 75 bucks at the pawn shop. Pictures comin later.

Second painted most of the plastic...
Heres some prep photos...

Finished product... I just used a black gloss multi surface spray paint and I think it looks rather good if I may say so
