    I use black enamel with success. Very easy.

    Krylon Fusion tends to stick better to glass than most normal spray paints. Plus, it's the same price. :p

    AND, Krylon fusion, when dry, CAN go inside a SW tank as well!

    I have my DIY intank overflow painted with it, IN my tank.

    But my back glass is painted on the outside as stated.

    Good luck, you'll like it. Unless you're looking thru the back also, I think painting the back is the way to go.

    Now my back glass is so covered with corralline, you hardly see any black anymore!
