I am intensely skeptical of special paint that claims to have insulating properties. I think it is snake oil put in to sell the whole container house thing. I don't know who is making money encouraging others to live in containers but someone clearly is. Usually the paint is only reflective and has some benefit in reducing heat penetration due to sun. If trying to keep warm on a rainy night, it is useless.
I would be very interested in an inexpensive siding that incorporated minimal insulation that could be screwed to the outside of the container. I strongly suspect that there is nothing that could be installed simply enough so that it would provide meaningful insulation without requiring an excessive investment in time and materials. Better to accept that your date is ugly and spend your money on booze.
