I agree on the buckets, but wouldn't use paint. I also recommend against black for the outside surface. I have some black buckets, but they are too expensive. I just use cheap $2 buckets from the hardware store for the most part. I wrap foil on the outside. Aluminum foil will help keep the temps regulated and is still opaque. Watercat, you might try that sometime, too. A lot less work than painting and if it tears you can always just put another piece over that.
