OH wasn't aware we could use that paint INSIDE of the tank. I did use it for the back (on the outside of the tank)......

Is painting the inside the only way to stop reflections, or does the outside accomplish the same thing?

i have never heard of painting inside? has anyone done this and kept a reef after?
i have used spray paint once to paint the back of a QT tank a deep blue. it works pretty decently but can chip off easily if you are not careful.

Well maybe I misunderstood, but joncat answered yes to this which is why I asked about painting the ********....?????? I sprayed the back of my display

Neither have I...which is why I asked...and you're right,mine chipped off...and simply touched it up.....(after I emptied it of course)

I wouldn't use it to paint the back of the tank. The question was for painting returns, which I have done. In my case it was a closed loop intake, which was white pvc. I painted it black with the fusion paint with no problems at all.
