[eklikewhoa]

I got this from walmart

[cu0ngsayz]

well i cant seem to find that brand on the site... but i have to check at the store tomorrow morning. they dont even carry that brand at homedepot actually... i was looking for the spray and they didnt have it,just remembered, seems like they only carry rustoleum, behr, and others.

[cu0ngsayz]

did that can cover the whole back for you or you need more than 32oz

[eklikewhoa]

my bad, it was krylon

Send the wife and kids to the mall or something... open all doors and windows like AFK stated, get the fans running and paint!

I spray painted my 180g in the living room and painted the stand in the back living room... had a mini blower fan going and hit the tank with spray paint!

The cheap rustoleum satin black brush on paint looks really nice and the fumes/smell is minimal if you decide to just brush on.

the protective enamel stuff?

ordering 500ml of purigen on amazon soon...(25.22+2day free shipping love amazon prime!!!)

i guesss back to homedepot for the 50th time the last 2 weeks.. hahaha

Tell me about it!

I went to buy parts to make a circulation set up to constantly keep my wet/dry filtration going even when the return pump is shut off and even bought extra parts and still had to go back.

Even bought parts to set up my water filling pump for my CRS/Planted tank and ended up having to sacrafice those parts for the above project.

i would use spray paint(my 75g tank is sprayed but did that in the garage) if i didnt have kids in the house. maybe i will try the latex

[aggrofishkeeper]

Did you make that? Looks good let me know how it turns out.

I would open the doors and windows and have a buddy help me and scoot the tank out a bit, just enough room to paint it. Put some liners on the ground so you don't get paint on the floor. And paint it with latex paint like EK suggested. You will be much happier with a painted background than one that is taped on and it will look cleaner.

[eklikewhoa]

You could paint with a roller and it would be just as good.

use a latex paint and it'll peel off later if needed.
