Default Looking for paint

I want to paint the back glass. Blue is the most common color. I did not find any color choice for such as a small volumn paint in hardware store.

Do you know where can I get the paint just to pait the back glass of the aquarium?

I am also hoping you may have left over in your DIY project and can sell me cheap.

Thanks

I went to Rona (the one near King Ed) asked the staff to no avail. I came back empty-handed.

What one exactly did you get? What color is that? Can you post a picture?

I probably should look for spray paint rather than regular paint.

I will try again tomorrow.

Thanks.

I always use Tremclad. Lots of colors. Don't spray it in the kitchen. Trust me on that one.

I just use fast drying black spray paint. Works great. Took me 20 minutes
