A paint coating is an extra interface which will decrease performance no matter how thin it is. No matter how you try and justify it, having to conduct heat through an extra layer of material is always going to be less efficient, regardless of the actual material.
If you want to paint it for looks, go ahead, the difference isn't large. But don't kid yourself it's for performance reasons.
