Morhua Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Just wondering what type of paint people use to paint the outside of their tanks (e.g., as a background option)? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Krylon paint from Walmart. Tape the tank and cover with newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoban Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Tremclad peels nicely when you want to change it, but I typically use what ever is on hand or inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qattarra Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I used brushed on acrylic latex. It can easily be changed later Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalgaryFan Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I used acrylic as well. Two coat looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ktylon wotks great...so do most acrylics. Blue Ram has used a dark tone of that 'specklestone' stuff on the back of a couple of her tanks and it looks damned good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertan Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I rolled on two coats of flat black Tremclad on my 120. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
