Painting Tank- What to use?

What does everyone use when they paint the back of their tank? Do you use a flat latex paint or something else? Also, what would look best, black or blue?

I am leaning towards black.

Thanks.

 

Rustoleum. I like blue or black, I have both on different tanks and either looks good really.

 

Is there a roll on kind or just a spray?

 

Scratch that. I think I would prefer the spray.

 

I used black LATEX paint with a sponge roller.

Works great and if you don't like the paint you can peel it off with a razor blade for a easy and clean removal.

 

That's what I used on my tank.

 

Disposable Roller

FWIW-I have painted over 70 tanks(used to own a LFS) and I found that the Rust-oleum was the most reliable(no peeling) and covered well. I used a $1.39 disposable roller and tray- no overspray, masking or cleanup. I used the blue because, while scuba diving on reefs, I noticed that the distance fades to blue(in daylight, of course). This gives the animals a "lack of threat" zone. I found that it also complements the lighting I desire. After all is said and done, it remains a personal preference. Also, if you don't like the choice you made, you can always change it with a razor scraper.
