Some folks have painted it with decent results and have greatly extended the life of the panel. If you decide to buy it and paint it as you've stated, make sure the paint you use has the highest available UV protectant rating.
Back to the drawing board!! I love this site. You guys are keeping me from making some expensive mistakes. Since I'm painting the roof any ways, it looks like the double 1/8" is the way to go..... if I can find it. At the one local lumber yard (not big box store) I checked with so far, the man I talked to looked at me like I had suddenly sprouted a third eye in the middle of my forehead when I asked about Baltic Birch.
