How easily does krylon fusion scratch?
I'm about to paint my glass overflows for my tank and was wondering if i should paint the outside or the inside of the overflows?

Its fine to use, but it does scratch easily.
I painted some pvc houses with it, then let it dry for 7 days before adding it to the tank.
I can see a lot of white spots where the paint has chipped off, but the fish are all still alive and healthy.
