I am not confident the systems rely on the emissions of counter measures as automatic from a paint. I seem to recall the system arms with a paint, goes to active searching, and deploys counter measures upon detection of missile in flight.

Else, the ruse would be to paint the tank, not launch, let it deploy counter measures until they are expended, then paint and launch.
