If that came from Armourtex, I would guess that it isn't "paint" in the strictest sense... it's a powdercoat. The powder is attracted to the substrate using an electro-static process and then baked.
There isn't a solvent suspension to hold pigment so you don't have to worry about that being an issue.
If you want to take care of the finish and protect it, hit up Chris at Cyclewrap UK - https://www.cyclewrap.co.uk/. He offers a discount if you mention Cole Coatings Workshop.
Alternatively, you can buy 3M Helitape on eBay, cut it to size and use that.
