Paint vs. paper murals on back of tanks

[Nimboli12]

If you paint the outside back wall of your tank instead of taping murals , how do you get the paint off without scratching the glass & what kind of paint should be used?

As far as i have heard a good sharp straight razor blade will scrap off most paints. also u could get a latex paint and it would peel off.

I used krypton fusion to paint my tank. And yes u cn use a razor o tke off. Use a window scraper

Vinyl (the sticky back kind) is another good material for covering the back.
Holds up better than paper and wont scratch off like paint.

I have always used spray paint. If you use a paper back, they tend to get bubbles in them over time.
