    Any type of spray paint. I clean the glass with mineral spirits first to get rid of any oils.
    Does water always taste like salt and poo????

    Is it better to spray it or roll it?

    dont roll it, spray it the bad thing about painting glass is that it will flake really easy if you rubb it on something but if its against a wall you will have no problems. hope this helps

    Oil based paint .One of those SMALL 1/2pint cans from Wal-mart .Buy u one of those sponge brushes .Clean the glass GOOD with pubbing alcohal and a good paper towel so it with not leave paper lent behind.Pour the paint on the tank right out of the can .Use the brush to spread the paint ,like u are iciing a cake .If u can find blue it will look really nice,but black always looks great too.

    I have used Krylon Fusion of the back of 4 tanks now (3 glass and 1 acrylic) and have had good results. However, I did scratch a small line into the paint on one tank when I got a little too happy with the Mag-Float :o
