How to cover the blue acrylic back panel on an acrylic aquarium

I've tried Krylon Fusion paint and it chips off. If I do it again, I'll get a thin sheet of acrylic in the color I want and use Weld-on to adhere inside the tank.
I got a deal on a 135G acrylic tank and am faced with the same problem. My problem is compounded because my over flow is dead center.
Has anyone tried using the stick on vinyl material used on boats and cars? It may be a simple solution if the tacky side isn't toxic to fish.

Are you 100% sure it is actually a blue panel and not heat shrink wrap that can be peeled off? Just asking because on my 240g acrylic I originally thought my mine was blue until I started picking at it and found it was actually a really HD heat wrap on it and was able to peel it all off.
Sounds like a good enough reason to build a 3d background to me! You’d just have to build it in overlapping sections so you can fit it through the access panels on top.
Yes, it will stick as long as it's not messed with. I use the mirror type in my algea scrubber.
I could also be spray paint on the outside. If so it can be sanded off. 220 grit, or finer.
Yeah, I can see the side of the blue panel where it’s welded to the clear sides and bottom.
