Painting water tanks

Morning guys,
I have noticed that my tank has gone a bit green which I've taken and cleaned, I remember someone saying that they painted there tank, so I was wondering what type of paint is good for this?
Many thanks,
Gordon

Thinned down gloss can be used on plastic.

You'll have to prep and clean it very carefully if it's polythene. Something like plastic trim primer will get a grip or acid etch primer. Once you have a key then probably anything although 2 pack acrylic would be best for which you'd need a body shop - would look good and last well but might be rather expensive... Failing all that wrap it silage clamp plastic and cut a hole for the filler.

Green tank just add a cup of household bleach from time to time, before weekend and leave the lid of the tank open. Now i hear all the chaps going off we remove the chlorine from the water. Yes you do but chlorine is a gas and it will evaporate soon enough and it does not create spotting anyway.\i do this regularly and never ha a problems.
