LOl... Yeah tell me about it go old City of Chicago... Where they bend you over and rap you daily... #1 in rapping victims...
 
We jsut bought some spray paint yesterday for a project we have. Found a skate shop in Forest park that sells it. I live in bridgeport and it was about 15 minutes from me. Take 290 West to harlem, then make a right. Once you get to madison, make a left and it is on your left hand side next to the cigar shop. I never knew about that area. They have nice restaurants, pubs, a cigar place. So you can grab a bite and not waste a trip.

Cans of montana paint was $6 per can. The place is called modern skate shop.
 
gotta be Krylon Fusion to be reef safe (AFAIK). It fully cures to plastic. Other spraypaints can continue to offgas for years.
 
Krylon fusion works great on acrylic. It's what I used to black out my ato resevoir.

Just coat the outside once or twice and it'll look nice and clean.

definitely. I painted the inside of my overflow box. It looks great and hasn't had ANY trouble with the constant running water.
