Spray the tank stand! My thought anyway.

spray paint is more expensive than paint in a can. oil based paint will take a long time to cure. if you use spray paint and want to fix a scratch later on with corals in the tank its not a good idea to use the aerosol can. so a paint in a can would be my choice.

once it dries there is no problem, oil based paints take along time to cure.
