Blacking out DIY DWC containers.

Hey guys / gals

Trying to get recommendations on what to use to black out clear tote containers that I get from my local store. I have purchased regular black paint for interior walls as well as spray paint for designed for plastic and it seems I have to put like 10 coats on it before it is truly blacked out. Worst of all it just ends up flaking off when I am doing res changes etc.. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
 
Aluminum tape works wonders, basic duck tape can do the job. If you're painting on plastic usually surface preparation, sanding, is a must.

kitchen foil and glue(use the crappy paint as glue) ...lol
 
What kind of space are we talking about here? My upgrade from 5 gallon totes to 7.5 gallon totes, effectively doubling my rez resolved some of the Ph swing and took up about the same space. I even made a post here in R.I.U. about going to 7.5 gal bins.
 
Seriously, just go online and get the perfect size and color you want. You’ll be happy in the long run.
