How should I paint my IBC tanks?

[Chris McMahon]

I went down to the local building supply store and they didn't have anything like what I am looking for. I have an IBC tote system and I am up to the point where I paint it for the sun. I went looking for paint that will stick on a plastic surface and the store didn't have a black coat and a white surface coat.

Anyone have some ideas? I don't want the containers to grow algae.

Chris thought I would weigh in on this. How about buying those bamboo curtains you see at lowes garden centers. Cut to the right height and wrap around the tank and fasten with nice burlap twine. Looks pro, easy to remove for maintenance and you can do it in about 20 min.
