Acerbis Tank

Hi All.
I've got a 22 litre Acerbis tank in the neutral colour and I'd like to paint it black. Can anyone recommend a brush or spray paint that will stay on and stand up to the wear and tear?
I could also do with a recommended cleaning agent, which would be the first task to achieve.

Thanks in advance,

Geoff

Nothing really holds up as the gas vapours goes through the plastic.

People have dyed them:

I learned to really love my white tank
