first remove the cardboard grain; a few layers of acrylic paint should be sufficient...then paint it with an aluminum rustolium paint (in case you want to weather the final coat) and then use the semi-gloss bkack...if the acrylic paint bunches in areas, sand off the lumps then paint too ensure a smooth surface.
