I would paint it black. However keeping up with scraping Coraline may prove difficult.
Anything is better than leaving it clear to expose plumbing and cords...

Painting it works well.. Color choice is 100% a personal thing..
You need to make a decision on your own.. Time to put the big boy pants on

Yes paint the OUTSIDE of the back side glass, darker colors work better...black, navy, charcoal grey etc.
