Paintnig the back of a tank.

[Kayak_Guy]

Do you paint the inside, or outside?

[papagimp]

outside- wanna make sure the paint you choose is going to work properly. Krylon fussion is the recommendation I get the most and what I've used in the past.

I have a sheet of black plexi-glass on the back of mine. I've heard others use window tint as well.

On the outside of the tank?

Yes. Outside with double face tape. I went with that option in case I wanted to change the color to blue later on.

Walmart 99cent flat black spray,worked good for me.

[Kayak_Guy]

Hmm....

I like the idea of being able to change the color....

But the ease of just painting the darn thing.......



Anyways, what colors have you all tried?

[Randall_James]

paint here too... easy enough to scrape off later but by the time you get rock in the tank, you dont usually see much of the back anyway

[Kayak_Guy]

So, flat or gloss or semi-gloss??

[Randall_James]

no diff, it all looks the same on the inside
