Is "fusion" the name of the color? I'm thinking about that for mine.

Got any extra!

It's not too bad to scrape paint off. Make the surface a little bit wet and use a razor blade. At least that's what I did with one of my tanks, I bought it used and the sides and back were painted blue. The back was OK blue but the sides I wanted clear. Anyhow in my case it wasn't too bad.

If you don't like it, you can use Laquire thinner. It will wipe right off. We use it all the time at work.

I would be nervous to paint my tank as well. But at the same time, choose a wise color, make sure you like it.. paint it. After so long, the backround is the last thing your paying attention to anyways.
