I just sprayed Painters touch multi-purpose paint on the back of my tank and it doesn't seem to be sticking to the glass. What does everyone spray or roll onto the back of there tank? and what color?

O.k.
It is sticking better now. Should I continue to spray light coats on it?

I used an interior latex paint from Lowe's. It was whatever brand they use. I used a dark blue color. You have to roll it on with a small roller and it takes about 5 coats. The nice thing about the paint is that you can peel it off, but it will not fall off.

I did the same thing, rolled mine on while the tank was still filled. Took quite a few coats of latex to get a good covering.

I used black acrylic paint from wal-mart. Less than $2 in the craft department. It took three coats but it can still be peeled off later if I so desire.
