I'm moving soon and want to color the bottom of my acrylic 240. I know there is a Krylon paint safe for PVC. Is it also safe for acrylic? What other options do I have?
 
krylon fusion just sand where your painting and let it cure for about 3 days to be on the safe side.
 
I just used regular interior latex paint and rolled it on the back of my tank No problems so far. It's been 10 months
 
latex paints your best option, because if you ever get sick of it, it comes off real easy with a little effort, plus easier to just roll right on
 
Aside from painting, they make film sheets (similar to window tint, but solid not translucent) that you can put on the bottom. I know it comes in at least black or white. This stuff sticks, and can be removed if you ever wanted to.

I think that should stick to acrylic as well, and they used it on my glass tank.
