Paint and scratches....

[Elwood]

My new, very old 90 gal has a lot of scratches. On the viewing side it has a divot front and low center that might be visible with water in the tank. And a few heavier scratches low in the corner.
The back side has many many fine scratches.

If I paint the back side black will the fine scratches show more? Should I use the side with all the fine scratches as the viewing side?
Does painting the outside of a tank make the scratches more visible?

What if I paint all four sides?

Thanks, Elwood.

I painted it deep blue with increasing black as it nears bottom. I purposefully did not make it a perfect smooth transition. It looks like there is movement in the dark beyond the tank...

I have no light yet and the flash just takes a picture of itself in the glass.
