I used both - (two different tanks, didn't mix) and I used spray paint - both look good IMO and both worked out well 
I couldn't tell much of a difference between the two either..

Use spray paint. I used a roller and latex and it was hard to get it to stick to the smooth surface

Thanks, and i guess i will use a Flat Black latex Paint with a roller, because spraying it would be to much over-spray do to the fact i want to do this without moving or emptying my tank.
I used Matt but u can't tell the difference on glass lookin from inside. U can spray just cover edges with tape an put cardboard on sides an over top of tank that's what I did on my 200

Sorry, i posted this question in the wrong Forum
I'm glad you posted it here. I am thinking about this as well and don't want to move the tank. Post a pic when you're done. If you have a pbass in the tank it will be posted correctly.
I HATE using spray paint on tanks, never again. You get thin patches the light or wall behind the tank will show through. I use Latext basex paint, put the tank on it's face, tape the edges off and use a normal house roller to apply. I only use matt finish so it does not reflext light when taking pics. This is the only way to go IMO if you want it done right the first time.
