What color to use?

[paultl80]

When I pick up the glossy latex paint to put on the back of my aquarium, what blue color should I tell them I want them to mix up?

I want to get the paint in a can and roll it on.
Do I tell them just blue?
Marine blue?
Paint the back of your aquarium blue?

Find a color you like and goes with the room if necessary and take a sample to them to match up.

I personally use flat black, red primer, gray primer and gold spray paint and layer it on in stripes to imitate the side of a river under water (I paint 3sides & the bottom too).

Or what beblonie suggested .

I decided on a blue color. Used latex paint with a small roller. It was very hard to get it right. Next time I'll just spray the paint on. I'll post pics in a couple days. in a new thread.
