Thanks everyone, the paint i use is the interior paint you would use in a house. U just have to make sure u get it in eggshell. I got cosmic blue, takes about 8 coats and around 5 hours of your time. It goes on best with a foam roller and those foam paint brushes. | |

It really is stunning. That tank is really going to pop especially with the wall color. Beautiful!!
