Does anyone know of a non toxic spray paint that is safe to paint some PVC elbows to put into a freshwater aquarium, Please only products you have used and know to be safe!!! Been looking at the fusion line for plastic but not sure and don't want to take a chance without asking someone with experience!
Thank You
Greg

Krylon's fusion is more of a dye than paint, I've not used it myself but have heard elsewhere of people using it to black out their filter intakes, etc. with no ill effects. Prime concern would be giving it a few days to cure properly.
 
Krylon Fusion is actually an oil based paint in a spray can.

Given the proper cure time, it has been used successfully in both SW and FW aquaria.
 
I use vinyl dye, also a spray. It can be found in auto parts stores. I let mine cure for a day and put the pieces in the tank, no problems. Krylon Fusion might be another brand for what I used. I'm just not as familiar with it.
