ex0h 94 Report post Posted July 2, 2019 I've just used cheap acrylic paint... mainly from the 2 dollar shop. And buy a foam roller at the same time. Few coats and voila. As for prep, just a good clean with a microfiber cloth, to ensure there's no oils/dirt on the glass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackayman 33 Report post Posted July 5, 2019 Clean with Acetone, Metho is next best. Then roll, spray, brush ya blue black whatever. Usually 2 -4 coats. Fill with water, add fish and enjoy. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackayman 33 Report post Posted July 5, 2019 I used black contact on mine. Found it way easier than messy paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
