Aquarium safe paint recommendations

[Lilthuglet]

does anyone have any recommendations for aquarium safe paints? I need a bronze, a grey and ideally something that glows but I'm not expecting much on that front.

Are you looking to actually paint the inside? I've never heard of that being done before. To paint my backgrounds or in your case anywhere on the outside, I usually just go to my local hardware store and pick up a can of spray paint and spray the back. Or more recently i just transitioned to using a thin plastic film i found on amazon as it is removable.

Lol I have no input but your name made me chuckle.

It is for inside the aquarium, I want to put in some detail on home made decorations and a background that sits inside.

Did you ever figure out what to use?
I'd be afraid the plecos or something would eat the paint off, and chip it off.

Hahaha I just got an alert since you responded here and I'm like "what did I ever have to say about paint?!". Apparently nothing lol.

I used plasti-kote. It's stuck well on the concrete, but it's flaked off the plastic and the glass pretty badly. Apparently you need to rough smooth surfaces for it to stick.
