I wanted black for my background but I don't want it permanent. What black spray paint can I use that peels off easily?Or what other alternative that I can use besides the tape on background? It's a 17g rimless and I don't want to get stuck with background just in case, thanks

Any latex paint will come fairly easy with a straight edge razor.

Spray latex paint?

Yes, although any spray or brush on paint will work.

Plastidip may be a good option, goes on like spray paint comes off via a razor and some heat as just one big piece. Also great for motorcycle and vehicle applications! Lol

Looks like a bigger job for my application. I couldn't find it in spray cans.

Blue Life goes on easy and will peal off easy.

I put it on my tank (in blue) and am very happy.

The spray ones are usually at ace hardware under their own brand.

I just hung a black sheet behind my tank cut to size.. works and looks great, keep switching between a sandy off white and the black

I went to a sign shop and grabbed a piece of black sheet vinyl sticker. Cheap, removable and easy.

All very good suggestions, just gotta choose before I fill the tank up with water.
