I'm not a paint expert either I've only used Krylon becuase it seems to be hyped on so many reef forums and in my own experience it works great.

If it was me, I would hold out until I found some Krylon, just for my peace of mind.

If you are still looking for it and have troubles finding, let me know, I have about half a can of gloss black in my garage if you want it.

That's exactly what I'm hoping to use it for. I hate being able to see the PVC through the overflow...

I wonder how well paint will stick to glass. I think it would start to peel
after a while. Most of the time when you want paint to stick to something
you need to sand it with some kind of sand paper to ruff up the surface
so the paint has something to adhere to.Correct me if I'm wrong

Just keep in mind that not all Krylon paints are Fusion.

I got the wrong can once and had to return it.

Am I wrong in saying that the most (if not THE) important quality in a reef-safe paint is that it is INERT WHEN CURED? There are many paints that have this quality, most notably 2-part marine epoxy paint as well as some spray paints...
