Problem with paint colors

BioHazard · Mar 22, 2009

Okay, I hear the paint to use in an aquarium is krylon fusion. Fair enough, but they don't have lime green, which is the color I need:swear:!!!
Any other safe paints? I've heard that any acrylic paint is safe, put I don't really know. I really need this color... Do you think I could mix "spring grass" and "sunbeam" to get lime green?
:headshake2:
Darn lack of colors...

get some latex mixed to what color you want (lime green) and paint the outside of the tank

This is for inside decorations.

Acryllic is very likely to just peel off. I'd try mixing the krylon stuff.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think that will work. I was just frustrated at the time

! I guess I just assumed "Hey, lime green is obnoxious, who wouldn't want to paint their plastics this color?"
Crisis averted. :werd:

Yeah, I can understand frustration from poor color selection. The colors you mentioned should be easy to get lime green from though.

It kinda makes me laugh when I see people recommending acrylics for aquariums. If I get acrylic paint on something I soak it in water to get it off. Even if it's dried for a month it still works.
