Painting Glass

I made the mistake of not painting the back glass when I set my 75 up almost 3 years ago. I've use the black film stuff. It sucks. Iv used rustoleum in a spray can for my other tank. Works great. But with the tank inside and full theres no way I'm breaking out the spray cans. I'm thinking a standard latex flat black would work. I'd use rustoluem in a normal can but am concerned with vapors from oil based paints doing a number on the inhabitants. Any suggestions?

I think I would use the oil based paint and have a fan blowing across it to eliminate the fumes. I don't think the latex paint will hold up

Latex. Just be careful when you tape off. When you pull the tape it could pull the whole paint off as a sheet.
