Spray Painting PVC with Rustoleum safe?

[rhudgins]

I recently spray painted PVC with Rustoleum Plastic paint for plumbing of my modified solana. A little bit of paint got into the inside of some of the elbows and unions. Is this paint toxic for my aquarium? I read on other posts that Krylon pain is reef safe but I am not sure about Rustoleum. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

I only use Krylon Fusion spray paint when it comes to anything in my tank that will be submerged in the saltwater.

Unfortunatly I did not do my research before spray painting the PVC. It seems as though everyone is a fan of Krylon. Does anyone think the Rustoleum will be a problem?

If these are cheap pieces of PVC that you can replace I wouldn't risk it. Who knows if it contains any metals or chemicals that are bad for the tank. Better to be safe than sorry.
