You will need to use some type of etching primer when painting titanium.

Black 9color) obviously, but to enhance thermal emissivity? Radar absorption as well? Visual (no glint nor shine) or a combination of "all of the above"?
RE: Painting and Titanium
The coating didn't have any radar absorption properties, afaik, but "Finished aircraft were painted a dark blue, almost black, to increase the emission of internal heat and to act as camouflage against the night sky. The dark color led to the aircraft's call sign "Blackbird"." - quote from Wikipedia.
