You can kinda hold it like a speedball marker and it probably balances out with the tank. I actually tried spray painting it before, which didn't work out too well. I took off the paint with paint thinner afterwards, the scratches are from the sanding i did before painting.

You chould have used acetone first. Then use some duplicolor self etching spraypaint primer (it holds onto alluminum really well) and then put what ever color you want onto it. Then put a few coats of duplicolor top coat. All can be found at AutoZone (other auto shops) or even Super Wal-Mart.
