My Nitrous Bottle (25 pounder!) polish or paint?

I just finished sanding my Nitrous bottle. Its a 25 pounder and I'm going to mount it in the dip of the trunk. I want opinions if I should paint it to match my car's paint, or polish it. Im leaning towards polishing but I hate when hand prints get all over it.
Here's pics of it:

If you ask me I would paint some Kick A$$ lettering on there that says NOS, I mean like a artist painting, a work of art. But I have a tendency to overdue things like that. Hey I think its a good idea if not match the paint with the words nos in ghost flames on the text YEAH.

I'd paint it the color of the car. That'd be awesome! Oh man, that would look so sweet!
