What kind of paint can I use inside the tank?

I would like to paint some PVC pipes for my overflow black. Does anyone know what kind of paint I can use that's safe?

Try Model car/airplane paint, I think it made out of solvent with pigment added.

Thanks for the reply Goldleaf, however I can't just "try"

It has to be for sure I can use it or not

Thanks guys, I've heard of that but wasn't sure if it's been used by many reefers

Just the answer I was looking for.
