Paint for Tank

I am looking to 'black out' the back of my tank and am having some trouble finding some non-toxic glass paint. So, I am looking for a little help with this.
Do you need to find non-toxic paint (spray paint) or if so maybe I am just looking in the wrong spots. If anyone has any experience with this please post your comments.
Thanks.

you paint the outside of the tank so it doesnt matter if the paint it toxic or not. I just used normall gloss black spray paint.

Got it, I wasn't sure if the 'toxic part' would seep into the silicone and then into the tank. I have read in other places that cleaning the glass with glass cleaner or other chemicals will do this.
As it sits now, there is no water in the tank as it just getting setup.
Thanks for the tip, that is kind of what I have been reading everywhere that it doesn't matter.

any good "all purpose" spray paint works wel (outside the tank of course). light coats, especially the first one which will be sort of the base for the other layers.

Great help guys. I found some Krylon paint at my local Walmart.
Hardest part was choosing a color.
Thanks again.
