I wouldn't paint it.
I had one of the Universal Acerbis Africa tanks years ago and it had been painted. Dropped the tank about a foot in the shed and it shattered!
The plastic had gone very brittle, I never experienced this before in 20 years of using plastic tanks on dirt bikes.
I can only think that the painting process caused the plastic to react this way.
If this had happened anywhere but in the garage it would have been a nasty situation.
