Can I spraypaint my enclosure. The screen is starting to rust and I dont like that brown/rusted look. What spray paint would be best? Rustoleum?

I would choose a water based paint that dries to a non-toxic finish...something like kid-safe Krylon.

Used reg krylon on dozens of cages and never had a problem. Just make sure u do thin coats and let it get good and dry before using it again.

How long would it take to dry good?

It might be easier to replace the screen, because then you can use it right away.

Most krylon actually dries in like 12 min but I would give it a good solid day to allow any fumes to go away

+1 if possible- aluminum screen is cheap and doesn't take long to change.

Replacing the screen would be the best option, just buy the screen at hime depot or lowes, they can even show you how to put it on
