Default Reef Safe Paint?

I have the aerosol version of this paint. Would it be safe to paint the inside of an overflow, provided I let it dry for a good week or so? I tried to find Krylon Fusion here, and this was the closest thing I believe I could come up with. It is "non-toxic and baby safe when dry."

Did you try Canadian Tire for Krylon? I always find it there and have never had a problem using it inside the tank.

Thanks for the tip--oops, I actually didn't check out Canadian Tire! But...the two paints actually look to the be same thing, no?

Strange...that's where I looked last, and ended up buying this Varathane. The paints themselves seem to be the same thing, though. Do you know, Greg? By no means am I a paint expert

I'm not a paint expert either I've only used Krylon becuase it seems to be hyped on so many reef forums and in my own experience it works great.

If it was me, I would hold out until I found some Krylon, just for my peace of mind.

If you are still looking for it and have troubles finding, let me know, I have about half a can of gloss black in my garage if you want it.
