Is there such a thing as fish tank safe paint or sealer? Obviously, there must be because ornaments are painted all the time. Where do I find this and what is it called?

I have searched high and low for a fire truck, as well as "Texas" themed ornaments for my tanks and have come up with zilch. I'm designing an ode to Texas tank. I've managed to build the divider for the substrate making a Texas flag, I've jumped through hoops and found a great background, I've found the plants I want but cannot find actual tank ornaments. Among the I want list are an armadillo or two, a "Texas" sign like the Hollywood sign, and fake blue bonnet plants. I do, however, have some resin armadillos in the box as well as a couple other resin items that would work. Assuming I sanitize and sterilize, can I do that? If not, is there a tank safe sealer I could baste them in?

Secondly, I'm designing a Fire Truck themed tank and would like to scuttle a fire truck. I've discovered through trial and error (kid's pool in my back yard) that the plastics and die cast won't work, plastic scale models won't work. I've located a cookie jar and a piggy bank or reasonable size that i'd risk trying, again, is there a sealer I can put on those to cover bases? Is there some secret leaching material in ceramic or glass that could be bad?

I'm proposing a little bit of a game. I'll start with something. IF you don't like it you respond "That's just not sexy" then list something else you think is not sexy. And so each person responds to the previous.

Inane stories, inappropriate responses, or just gross stuff will not be considered for best answer. I don't know how to explain what I'm looking for, but I'll know when I see it.

FYI Puking, pooping, peeing, in/on whatever will not be considered. Have fun but don't be gross.

"777 Boss"/Hurricane pictures?

**I'm researching engines for a story I'm writing.**

I'm trying to find a really kick butt engine to put in a late model F-150. I ran across the Hurricane years ago and learned that it's now called the Boss. Then I see that Ford is developing the 777 for Mustang and possibly a future model Lightening.

Right now, I'm trying to find info on the 777 Boss, namely photos. Other than passive mention of it on wikipedia, whispers about a yellow mule mustang or rumors about production, I'm finding squat to help me decide it's plausibility or anything...

Don't worry about how my character acquires one, I've got that covered.

10 points to anyone that can get me links or photos of the actual 777, not the 6.2 L and not a Modular V8.

The company/group is a think tank contracted by the government but is secretly a nefarious bunch of capitalists. I'm shooting for something simple with initials that would fit well with the rest of the governmental alphabet soup.
