Hi all,
I've decided that in order to maximise the light inside my tank I'm going to spray paint the underside of my tank hood. I've got an older Juwel Rio 400 (pre 2009) and the hood panels are made from fairly cheap and nasty black plastic. The surface is mottled so the paint should take pretty easily.
I'm looking at using Plasti-Kote Super Matt White Spray Paint which is only a fiver at Amazon.
Obviously it won't be beneath the water but, with the high humidity in the tank, it's inevitable that condensate will form on the paint and then drip back into the tank water. Therefore, I want to ensure it will not be toxic.
The manufacturer's product safety sheet doesn't appear to list any nasties. The EU dangerous substance classifications it has been assigned just relate to flammability, skin irritation and eye irritation during the application phase. However, I was just wondering if anyone more experienced could see a problem with using this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
