Non-Toxic paint for overflow...?

DezertRat · 07/03/2011, 04:43 PM

OK so I made an overflow box for the corner out of acrylic.
No worries right, only like a

I used clear acrylic.
No worries right, just paint it... yea OK try to find a paint that can go in an aquarium. Its kinda tough since I kno nothing about paint.
I did however just buy this spraypaint for Micheals, states that it dries non toxic. Keep in mind I plan to let it sit and dry for several days. Anyway, its made by Design Master Color tool. On the back it says "This product DOES NOT contain CFC propellants and is non-toxic when dry." http://www.dmcolor.com/products/?id=15
I was really looking for something that said "food safe" but no such luck.
Well, if anyone has any advise I'd be most grateful

Krylon Fusion has been used inside aquariums and caused no ill effects from what I know.
