I've seen a bunch of people painting the backs of their tanks with spray paint. I really like the idea of something more permanent, but I am always changing things and don't want to be stuck with a single colored backer if I don't like it. Has anyone tried using the rattle can Plastidip on the back of their tank? I might just try it because you can peel it off after it dries. If anyone has any experience with this?
 
What I did was buy an aquarium background for cheap and applied it with vaseline.
So far so good.
 
what I did was to paint a perfectly cut to fit piece of 1/4 inch plywood and then secured it to the back of the tank with duct tape---holds well and looks nice, although probably not as nice as  painted glass would look--but this background can be readily removed if desired.  
 
I havn't used it for a background, or at all, but I was recommended it to seal decorations we're making for my tank. So I'd think it'd be perfectly fine to use as a background. Sorry if that's not helpful ^^'
 
So I went ahead and painted the back with plastidip.  I turned out really well, coverage is smooth and even.  It took an entire can though.  I don't know if this is a lot compared to regular rattle can spray paint, but it looks good and its removable, so win win in my book.
