look at the aquariums section. The steel frame tank was painted using testors model paint. Wal-mart special for about a dollar a bottle, can't remember how many I used. Works good.

I've read here that people just spray paint the back of the tank. Just find the color you want and spray it on. I'd cover the tank to make sure no paint got in the tank. Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

I did not spray, the model paint with a sponge brush. covers thick and dries quickly trust me you'll like it
