I just got done building my stand and painted it. Now I am realizing with my sump, if there was enough evaporation, could some of the paint, atleast from the condensation on the top of the stand drip down into my sump and cause any damage? I just don't want to set everything up and later down the line have problems and my corals die. Or am I being way to paranoid?

You should vent the stand. Run a small fan or have some openings to allow moisture to escape.

It would take a ton of evaporation before you would start to see any condensation. But it would be good to add some ventilation down there to keep the tempature from building up
