Paint for glass backgrounds?

[Slim2634]

I am painting the back and bottom of my 180 black and need to know which kind of paint I should use?! Thanks alot!

i use high quality acrylic paint, not as diluted as it says on the bottle, maybe you should too! you can always easily scrape it off with a knife later and it comes off cleanly

spray paint works just as well

I used left over Krylon Fusion that I had left over from painting my in tank plumbing. Three light coats did the trip.

you also might want to try vinyl. check out ebay and search for vinyl sticker roll. you basically apply it like tint and it's removable. there are also lots of colors.

I used black Behr interior flat enamel latex paint on my tanks. At least 2 coats to prevent a streaky look and no light penetration. It is also easily removed with a razor blade (glass surface only) if you want to change colors or remove the paint later.

An alcohol ink painting would look fantastic. If I had enough time, I'd definitely try on my little tank.

My dad got a can of krylon fusion from work. I am assuming that this will be fine?

It will work. Rolling it on with a foam roller would be easier on that size of tank,IME.

TBH, just about any paint works, and they all look just about the same from the front of the tank.
