Paint brand to use on glass?

[hmoobvwj]

What paint brand is safe to use on glass? What would you recommend? Where can I buy it? This will be my DIY for painting my 40 gal breeder.

BTW how do you go on about painting it? taping the edges and just paint? How many coats?

Sorry for all the questions...kinda new at this.

Krylon flat black. Yep, just tape the edges/places you don't want to paint. Get three cans, three is a safe number.

Is 3 cans enough to paint both the back and the bottom of the tank? As this is what I'm going to do. Will most hardware store carry Krylon flat black??

 

[haynchinook334]

Yep, most Hardware stores carry spray paint. Wal-mart sells Krylon, three cans will work to do a 40gal top, bottom, 4 sides, filter, fish, heater, a wall, and rims. You can never have to much flat black paint.

But I also want a brand where if I decide to remove the paint I can. Sorry! Lol.

Oh....

Paint thinner will take paint off your tank.

Agree with everything. Krylon is the best.
