What paint to use on OUTSIDE of aquarium?

[knifegill]

Seriously, I just bought a 125 and am going to paint the back of it black. The thing is, I want to use an easy to remove paint if I decide to sell it or change my mind about the color. Would a latex be easy enough to peel off with a little acetone? Any specific brand to look for? I was an interior prefinisher by trade but only used company supplied materials most of the time (stain and sealer/lacquer) so my knowledge of paint types is limited.

i used spray cans from home depot. do a lot of thin coats.i put a lamp inside the tank and painted till i couldnt see the light then top coated with black.it can easily be removed with a razor blade. dont use any suction cup style hose clamps they will make your paint come off if you try to move them.

Thanks, but I was hoping to avoid the razor thing. It's a good plan, though. Just not quite the conditions I'm looking for.

Yeah, latex is the best bet. It will be easier to remove later.
