So weird question perhaps, but does anyone know what paint Crystal Dynamics uses for the rear black panel in their tanks? I have a LeeMar with a few scuffs that I find annoying and would like to touch it up. I'm a little afraid that if I use the wrong paint, it might stand out. Anyone know?
 
Funny I just got a Crystal Dynamics tank. I ordered the tank with smoke glass. To my surprise you can see through it. I haven't filled the tank and understand it might not be as see through when water is in it. So I thought well maybe I should paint it. I called CD and they mentioned be sure the glass is super clean then roll on really thin coats of oil based paint. Like a Rust oleum enamel paint. I've decided to just let coraline grow on the back wall instead of painting it.

Cool, thanks Eric! I'll try some Rustoleum enamel paint. I remember Keith Grant would make tanks with smoked glass on the back. It looked super cool, but yes you could kind of see through it.
