Welcome to 3reef.

Make sure when you paint that you put a few coats on. When I painted the short end of my tank black I didn't put very many coats on it and if you put a light behind the tank you can see through it. Won't ever be a light behind there but it is the though. Especially if you are going to have a light in the sump and it may reflect off the wall to the back side of the tank.
Just my $.02
