Since you'll be painting the outside of the tank, ordinary spray paint that you can find at Lowe's or Depot will work fine.

Or at your local hardware store! Dont support the big boxes! The home depots and walmarts of america are killing the little guys.....But yea i used ordinary blue spray paint. Came out great. My friend took about 15 minutes to figure out why my tank looked so "crisp" compared to his!

Don't even get me started...
I was out and about a few weeks back when I nticed a Walmart "Corner Store" or some label like that. Not the regular Walmart dive. It was across the street from Walgreens. It's madness. I think I make it Walmart twice a year, if that much.

Spray paint, definitely!
