What type of paint is the best to put on an aquarium stand. Also the best to be able to be able to wipe down and keep clean. I will be painting a canopy as well
 
I've had success with really anything semi glossy-glossy. Ask the people at the store whats best for a bathroom setting and theyu will lead you to the right place . And if you are nervous do a layer of clear coat after the paint! That should protect the wood and look real nice.

I typically use oil-based paints. Polyurethane, epoxies, and any non water-based coatings should work fine. Also not a bad idea to calk the seams and joints. Good luck!
 
I am probably doing it “wrong”, but I have always used spray enamel lol.

(After sealing with poly and sanding).
