Anyone done this?
I'd like to paint the *outside* of the rear pane.
Can I safely do this with the tank running? (I promise not to clean
the roller in the tank).



I wouldn't attempt a spray paint, but anything else is easy..


Flat latex OK? Or would a satin or semi-gloss be better.



I've used both and honestly see no appreciable difference.


What looks best- dark blue or black?
I currently have 4x96w diy pc lighting (2 10kk, 1 actinic, 1 7100k
'blue'- and BTW working on a cool LumuLeds LED night viewing light).



I've used dark blue and black at different times- both look fine although

I
seem to want to clean the black more often..
I would probably attempt a dark blue to black fade if I were to do

another-
I find those really stunning.
