What kind of paint should I use to paint the outside frame of my aquarium?

I want to paint the oak woodgrain base and frame above and below the glass black. Does it matter what kind of paint I use? Should I use a water based Acrylic paint? I will be taping/papering off the glass, so there shouldn't be any paint at all that would come in contact with the water. I just don't want to make it toxic for my future fishies.What kind of paint should I use to paint the outside frame of my aquarium?
If there are no fish in the tank now, it doesn't really matter what you use. All modern household paints are non-toxic ones they are fully cured.





Normal water based acrylic paint will be fine for what you want to do though.
