Painting of FGT

[kianlee863]

Hi Guys,

I have a white FGT which I plan to paint Black as my kois colors are fading in the tank.

Anyone has any recommendation of the type of paint to use?

Thank you!

Thanks for the advise! Where do you get this from? I have tried many shops to no avail... also is there anything i have to do to prep the surface?

you probably need to order this up front since it is not those common paint that the painter use. what i normally do is that i will clean n sand paper the surface so that the paint can stick to the surface more efficiently

a couple of hours will do
the expoxy paint requires you to mix the paint + the harderner. sp please do take note on the ratio advise by the seller.
