Hi,
Finally got around to making a QT/hospital tank :D
Spray painted the outside white, with plastidip. Mineral spirited the inside where I saw specs of the spray.
HOB with just bio media and a polishing pad, heater, improvised sponge filter.
Am I missing anything? Should I be wortied if I missed a few specs of paint that got into the tank? Any help is appreciated.
This is for my special package coming tomorrow. :)

I would used a razor blade to scrap any paint and not mineral spirit. How did you neutralize any residual mineral spirit?

I tried using a razor blade but the specs were so fine that the blade couldn't get it off.
For the spirits, I just wiped afterwards with water and then wiped dry. Evaporation will take care of the rest. Spirits evaporates very quickly.
