Tips for painting light fixture
I have a black Aquaticlife hybrid T5 fixture that I want to paint white. My plan is to disassemble it and paint all the exterior parts with a rattle can. Anyone have any tips for this in terms of paint type and method?

i would use a good high temperature paint after a sanding with fine grit cloth.

Regular spray paint is just fine..
Only thing I would say is that cleaning it to remove any salt film/oil,etc... Simple water/mild soap first then Alcohol wipe down for any non-plastic surfaces will break through oil,etc..
