Spray paint background ?

[Venom_]

I want to spray paint the back of my aquarium black. What kind of paint do you guys use to spray paint the back of your aquarium?

Flat black plasti-dip. One can will cover an entire 48" x 21" pane of glass in multiple coats. And if you don't like it, you can peel it off a little better than other paints.

Thanks for the advice!

I just used el-cheapo lowes flat black latex paint and a 2 dollar roller to do my tank. Very clean looking. No odor. And you don't have to worry about overspray at all.

how does the el cheapo paint stand up if you use a mag algee scrub brush on it.

I'm not sure. Don't have water in the tank yet. But I won't be using a magnetic scrubber on the back of my tank.

Gotta agree with plasti dip. Lots of colors and a lot easier to change.

The algae really shouldn't show up on a black background that much! If it gets bad just use a toothbrush. I've never cleaned the back glass. lol
