Background paint

Hat kind of paint does everyone use to paint the back of their aquarium? None of the printed wallpapers look right or real enough to me.

The cheap spray paint from walmart is what I used.

I just grab a can of Krylon from the local hardware store. Any kind will work just fine though...

Just clean the surface with alcohol let air dry, tap off the rest of the tank and MAKE sure you cover the top. You'd be surprised how much over spray comes from a little can TRUST me. And if you can, I recommend doing it outside or in a well ventilated area like a garage.

Perfect , and what about colors? I've seen people use black or blue, would a darker like navy blue look better?
