Spray painting PVC in tank...

[Freezekougra]

I have three cans of these at home: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

aka the cheapest ones at home depot
I've used them to spray paint a black background, but never tried using it inside a tank. I did a quick search and someone used spray paint made by Krylon without any problems, but I don't have any of that on me. Plus home depot locks up their spray paint so I'll have to drag a parent there if I want to buy a different brand

Try Wal-Mart if you have one around you. They might not sell to minors I am not sure as I always had a parent there for transportation anyway but when I was custom camo painting airsoft/paintball guns and I needed paint I would go there. They had everything from Glossy to Satin to Flat to Ultra-Flat(What I used so there was absolutely no shine from it and Wal-Mart was the only place near me that carried it).

krylon fusion has worked for me

Krylon Fusion isn't just a pray paint. It bonds to plastic and after a week, it's for an intents and purposes, part of the plastic. That's why it's better to use.

Regular spray paint is a no no.

Well that answered a question I was going to ask.

I want to put it on the inside of a fiberglass tank.

I just used this today to paint PVC. I put a few coats on as it only takes 15 minutes to dry.

Should I let it sit for a week before putting it in the tank?

What would be the best way to glue a rock to the bottom of it and be tank safe? I thought maybe a hot glue gun? PVC cement? It is the cellular PVC from Lowe's and I believe that is why it has a little float to it.
