I never spray paint my tanks. Its much easier, harder to scratch and even cheaper to get black sticky vinyl from a sign maker and take your time smoothing it over with a credit card. No masking, fumes, cleanup or overspray to deal with.

I used smoked window tint from walmart.
There is a seam, but you bairly notice it.
It's held up for a year without any issues.
Just watch those koralia magnets, they like to move the film around till its dry.
