I think I would remove it from the tank and set it on a book case somewhere. Considering what can be done with manzanita branches or pieces of mopani wood, or natural rocks, why not go that route? If you paint that, trying to make it look realistic, it will always look like you painted it.
That is just my opinion though, and we all have different ideas about what looks best in an aquarium.

Hey Tran - Contact the background's manufacturer and see what they recommend. Painting anything that will go in an aquarium is a touchy subject.
Another option is to leave it as is but dress it up with some anubias, Jave fern or Java moss.
Good luck and post a pic when you're done.
