Painting my background good idea or not if so what sort of paint acrylic or oil based ? i was told painting glass is not a good idea as chemicals from paint eventually seaps threw ? is this true or not ?

what about a product called plasti dip witch can be removed with no damage if this is an option i sell it at work but rep cant tell me if it will hurt anything. any help would be greatly appreciated .im building a marine tank if this makes any difference 450ltr.

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.

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.

Rubbish to glass letting chemicals through. I used acrylic paint and a roller on my tank. Took 5 coats to get a complete coverage.

Color options? Single color or dark to light
