Hey guys i am building a new enclosure for my bearded dragon. I am finished with electrical and building, so now i want to make a background. Now my girlfriend wants to paint the background with non-toxic, water based, acrylic paint. my question is... Is this safe to use by it self, or is their a clear coating i put on it so make it resistant to the moisture and heat. any recommendations would be awesome Ill try and get some pics up of the products we plan to use
It all depends on what brand/type you use. Myself I would use the paint and put a compatible clear coat on top (or 3) It will take more abuse and you won't lose colour.
This is a cool idea. Let us know how it works out and if it holds up well. I might steal your idea for one of my enclosures.
