Paint for rock? rock exposed to air thats outside of water

[JonnyJ]

My question is for rock that will be outside of the tank


I used Dry rock/ Pond&stone Foam/ to create my waterfall structure. Going to epoxy the foam and add sand/crushed coral next.

Can anyone suggest a paint to use on the dry sections of the waterfall? The rocks now are very white and would rather paint them now then want to do it months from now..

Is using a paint followed by a seal of epoxy or maybe silicone possible?


what do aquariums use to paint the fake structures? and various restaurant builds..


I know people use krylon fusion paint. could i possibly use that?


Suggestions please.

Krylon Fusion Paint is supposedly non-toxic once it is dry.
I would say you need to be really, really sure it is dry before you add them to the tank.

This stuff will be outside of the tank. under LED lighting and may have contact with salt water from random splashing or crabs trailing water

people also mentioned acrylic paint.
