redracer77 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I have just painted the background of my new tank with resene test pots, I found their paint sticks well to glass. I doubt it will leach any chemicals through glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I always used spray paint from a can. Assuming you are painting the outside of the glass it won't matter what sort you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Rubbish to glass letting chemicals through. I used acrylic paint and a roller on my tank. Took 5 coats to get a complete coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
