Painting a Blue 199 Tank

Has anyone painted the blue 199 tank? My tank faded badly as many of these blue tanks do and I'm not sure if this plastic will hold the paint well. I'm also concerned about sanding this plastic in fear of making it look worse.

They are made of either polyethylene or polypropelene which makes them very porous. So that means you have to line the insides which often doesn`t last long and use a plastic primer and flex aid on the outside. Cheaper and easier to just buy one off In Motion for a hundred odd

pounds.

 Are you saying the tank was originally porous and lined with another product?
