Aquarium-Safe Paint - Which Krylon?

What exact Krylon paint is safe to use on marine aquarium decor? There are a number of varieties of Krylon spray paints. Thanks in advance.



Sorry for repeating what may have been asked before . . .

I have used Krylon Fusion as many folks have to paint the exterior of a tank but I would not paint anything that went in the tank. I am paranoid though so someone with more knowledge needs to chime in.

I have used Cheapo $1.99 spray paint for some of my PVC parts, so far no problems.

I've used Krylon Fusion (for plastic) on PVC in my tank with no ill effects. Just let it dry for 24 hours before putting it in the tank.
