Im currently making a polystyrene rockery to fit around my water dragons water area, iv covered the polystyrene in tile grout which was really fun doing, but its a dull gray/cream colour (not very attractive) I was wondering if anybody could tell me if it would be safe to paint it with acrylic paint and then add a layer of waterproof PVA. If not what would you recommend? Very Happy

hi martay!...i think, thats ok with waterproof painting as long as u, not to add the living species to the viv till the all material and smelly thing from the paint gone. i do painting fake wall with that material, leave the settup tiil dry(if u done), sett-up in viv with all con tens and turn on the machine, put the viv in the open air , wait 1 week and change the water, remove all soiled item and the species ready to place, how about u?
