Textured finish for sub-bass cabinet

Non-slip floor paint that you apply with a textured roller? Sort of like a civilised version of artex. Not sure if you can get 'charcoal', you might have to make do with 'wet elephant'.

Upholster it in black vinyl? Thin foam underneath. Might help with resonances too.

How about stage speaker covering fabric? CPC have a small range. Stick it on with non solvent spray adhesive. Servisol brand is OK. Ordinary Evostick attackes the fabic and makes it go saggy.

These should do to start with:-

Frost Auto (or Automotive) Restoration sell 'authentic' crackle finish paint for vehicle dashboards.
