I always use a matte black latex wall paint for my tanks from HD. I use a paint roller and brush to apply and usually takes a couple coats to fully cover. Don't forget to use painters tape if you are sloppy or don't want to get it on the plastic tank trim. I do paint the tanks with the surface I want to paint facing up though that is personal preference. ?
Acrylic craft paint from hobby store. Cheap and easy to change if you change your mind down the road.
I bought the smallest can of latax paint, its like the 6-8oz test can. I have painted 3 30's and a 55 with enough paint to probably do the 55 again, with 3 coats every time. It does peel easily but can be spot touched up easily and will be a breeze to remove if I should want to!
