MickS77 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm thinking of using gloss black Krylon Fusion to paint the intake tubes of an Aquaclear 110 for my next tank build. Has anyone ever done that or something similar? How did the paint hold up, did it flake off, any effects on water/fish etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have not. I would consider a marine grade (non ablative) paint instead, scuff sand and clean really well for adhesion, and be sure it is fully cured before putting it in water. I sail, paint and water are a hard mix. But for fish safety I think the main thing is having it be dead cured before it touches water. Let me know how it goes if you do it!

KBOzzie59 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I use Krylon Fusion with no issues, just make sure it's 100% cured before you put it back in with fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenP2003 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 100% cured, krylon fusion is supposed to fuse with the plastic underneath it. I've only had it in a tank for 6 months, but so far no issues at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
