I painted the bottom of mine....


Rough it up real good with sandpaper, clean it with rubbing alcohol, then hit it with black BBQ paint or some type of high temp paint. Let it dry overnight...Mines holding up well.

Like Mike said just rough it up really good then clean it and paint with high temp paint. I used spray paint that is used for painting engines I think it was made by duplicolor. If it has any small dings in it make sure you get in those spots good. The stack that I put on our 4430 is starting to flake off in the spots were it was dinged and I didn't get it sanded real good. As far as mounting it if it were me I would use a plate at the bottom of the bed.

do you have a picture of a plate? I want to do stacks also, and dont want more holes than i have to .
