I agree. Krylon for plastic works really well. Tape off the rest of the tank and spray in a ventilated area.

Clean the tank back really well, remove all debris, silicone, etc and wipe with rubbing alcohol. Let dry

Spray several(5 or 6) very thin coats, letting each one dry in between(5-10mins)

...??? Is your tank empty right now?

The frag tank I bought has a black vinyl back on it... perhaps it's some type of window tint but seems thicker than that.

My painted back did scratch over time with moving my tunze magnets around... if I knew how to apply such a backing I'd have gone that route.
