Clean with acetone, primer then paint.

What brand plastic paint did you use?

Krylon fusion seems to be what most use to paint plastic and even glass. Supposed to stick pretty well. Never used it myself, but is what I will try when the time comes.

Will this be going inside your tank? I'm not sure I would risk adding something thats been painted to my tank.
