theaquaticlife is looking at reefs
Default Re: painting trim & back sides of tanks

I have dabbled in many shades of blue and honestly they are all pretty good, I have used parade blue in heavy coats and think that was my favorite. I even tried mixing colors to make a pastel of sorts out of browns, pinks, yellows and reds... uhhhh it sucked and I had to razor blade it off and went with parade blue.

black is ok, but tends to show fuzzies like algaes growing on the surface of glass itself. However, since everyones taste is different I would just say to figure out what you like and roll with it as YOU are the one who has to look at it everyday not me! LOL

Whichever color is decided upon, it is well worth the more expensive paint as I found the cheapies have chipped and even came off like fruit roll ups.
