I use paint for the background. In automotive apps, I use brake caliper paint as it is chemical resistant and temp resistant. Otherwise, black One Shot works well. I even use it on guns and knives.

For those that are not familar with Otto, he is a fellow Texan living in Abilene.
He and I have something in common - while in college we both worked with the same man that influenced us both very heavily. Ellison Edwards was truely a fine gentleman. Otto purchased his business and operated it for awhile before going off to other fine art pursuits.
Check out Otto's web site and you will find some great inspriation.
