what color do you want to paint them? There is Krylon Fusion, that's supposed to be reef safe once dry. I've never used it though.

I'd just throw them in the tnak and let them get purple from the coraline. . .

i want to paint them black so it will be less visible against my black background. coraline method would take a long time.

I dont think you should waste your time doing that ,in a few days your pump with have some algea and full of coraline in a month or so with good water parameters ,JMO

Yep, definately not worth the time and effort to paint them.

Yeah you will see that in a few months that it will be covered with coraline.

I used Krylon Fusion to paint some PVC in the tank and it's been perfectly fine IMO. It's pretty covered in Coraline like others mentioned but it does take some time for the object to be completely covered in coraline where you wont see any of the white... or whatever you're trying to hide.

Just make sure it's completely dry.
