latex black in a can with a disposable foam roller. If you are careful not to drip you can even do it with the tank running.

Any paint.. roll it right on or spray or whatever..
Or get vinyl sheets or whatever you want.. But any old paint works just fine..

I just did my frag tanks back and bottom. Good ol rattle can flat white. I have used window tint in the past, easy to work with and way easier to change color later on.

I'm waiting for my tank to come in and I was actually thinking of checking out prices to have the back vinyl wrapped (blue) just for easy removal later on.
