painting tank back

[eleyan]

What kind of paint should I use to paint the back of a tank?

I used a high grade latex enamel and brushed on about 3-4 coats. If you can get to it, and cover other parts, a good enamel spray paint would be much nicer & easier I would think.

I used a black rustoleum(sp?) paint. very even coat and looks nice

i used a good old fashoned lead based paint.. heck i mean easy to use and TASTES great too :D

Not to hijack or anything but... Can you ever remove that kind of paint from a tank? This might be good to know down the line.

[Henry]

Yes you can. I used a razor blade and soapy water. had to remove paint from sides of 180. I'm sure there are other ways, but this worked for me.

A latex will pretty much peel right off with a little razor blade.

When I painted mine I used spary paint as well worked well just make sure you cover anything that you DON"T want paint on.
