It seems like you're not using the right kind of paint. I did a similar rubbermaid grow and used white spray paint for the inside, and I never experience any kind of chipping. You need spray paint that's specific for plastics. However, if you're going to invest in mylar, that would be the best choice by far.

Another thought I was having about your setup is that maybe you should combine two rubermaids to make the container larger and give the plants some room to grow. Perhaps use the smaller one you have currently to veg the plants and then put them into the bigger container to flower.
