Spray sounds a little scary, those airborne particles aint going to go down well if they land in your tank water.

This is true. I'd recommend leaving the tank and sump covered for a good few hours after you've done the job, and have a REALLY good hoover around the tank to try and get up as much paint as you can.

You can use 'normal' gloss paint or blackboard paint and just apply with a brush instead.

or paint (however you like) a sheet of cardboard and stick it to the back...
