Paint the inside of water table?

Just built a 6 inch deep pan for a water table. I plan on the water being 5"deep. Should I bother painting the bottom? I only have a 45 amp torch. Will it burn the paint off?
thanks

Just been cleaning mine out today, it's had a good workout over the last few months, mine would be 100mm deep.
I did paint it with a etch primer and a single pack paint, no burning at all, it's kept well enough really.
Mine is a powermax 45
