Painting aquarium stands

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.

Spar urethane finish after you get the stain/paint you want on your stand. Do this for both inside and outside of the cabinet.

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!
