painting the back glass

Is there any special kind of Paint needed to Paint on the glass?

I used krylon fusion spray paint, flat black. I used 6 or 7 coats. It turned out really nice.

I just put a coat of plain old black interior house paint and applied with a brush. It looks great. Once it's full of water and decor, it pretty much just looks black no matter what you use.

There is a guy on you tube used latex paint from the hobby department, claimed it was easy to remove.

Plastidip. Easy to use, peels right off, comes in many different colors and for $6 a can. It would take less than two cans to lay down 5-6 coats depending on tank size.

x2 im actually about to plastidip my rear glass on my tank as well, just remember to clean the surface really well with paint thinner or alcohol and a lint free cloth and make sure your in a well ventilated area, the plastidip will stink up an entire room and hallway believe me lol

just make sure no overspray gets in the tank, make sure your tops are closed and filters off if you have a hob, nothing else will effect them.
