Changing Tank Background Color - Ideas Needed

[Tien]

I have a gorgeous corner tank made out of acrylic. The back acrylic pieces are solid blue in color. They are not transparent at all. I need ideas on how to change the background color to black. Is there a safe paint that will work inside of the aquarium?? I thought about using plastic backgrounds or plastic sheets but I have a small opening which means if the plastic is stiff, I will have to cut it into multiple pieces and this will show distinct lines on the back of the aquarium. Any ideas from you DIY people?

This sounds really interesting. Do you think it is inert in water? Any toxins?

Krylon is great its used for DIY backgrounds and when I say vynal I meant the stuff used for back of tanks only put on the inside and use magnets to hold obviously they will rust but it doesn't harm the fish

This is the tank. We were moving here, so obviously not a permanant location.
