Painting back of Tank

[wayner]

Just picked up a cube and since the weather is nice and it's in my garage, I want to paint the back black in the next couiple of days.

Do I spray it or paint with a brush - also what paint should I use -

Any tips please, much appreciated, never did this before.

Something I can pick up quickly at Home Depot ????, and get this done today?

Thank You

I used Krylon Fusion spray paint from Canadian Tire, but others work well too.

I second sTang's suggestion. It took me about 3 coats for the dark blue to get it all even, so depending on the size you may need more then one can.

I use the "Painters Touch" spray paint from Home Depot.

I see your already hard at work setting up the new system :biggrin:

Oh and Wayne the tank move went well, its safely stored away in a warehouse.

I considered painting my tank but went with a black vinyl back instead. It was cheap at fabricland and if you decide you want a different look down the road you can pull it off and put on another color.

Just a thought :)

I used the Krylon paint as well....I used white and painted the back and the bottom.....reflects the light great.......
