Not only do you have to consider toxicity, but you will have to consider taste and odour...our senses of taste and smell are VERY sensitive. I wouldn't want to drink any water that's been in a painted tank!

Is it for people to drink? If so it should be plastic

snags: I wasn't aware of that...it's still true, of course, drinking-water IS preferable directly from the mains! In this situation, however, I think I would be replacing the tank with one made specifically for drinking-water (potable-water suitable) rather than using any sort of paint.
Water-based paints wouldn't last long under water...and solvent-based could lead to toxicity, taste and odour problems.
