I'd suggest painting it if you can. Every background i've ever used has had a problem at some point. Paint is awesome.
You kinda answered your question i think... since isn't it normally called Vinyl Backing isn't it???
Anyway here is a link i found on google... so hopefully it helps

Sticky Black Vinyl
I used those vinyl backgrounds for years being afraid of painting a tank. I've since painted one tank and I'm about to paint another. Every tank from now on will have painted backgrounds unless they're 3d backgrounds. The paint looks great and peels off really easy with a razor. I've never used the spray paint although I hear some people love that method. I just went with regular old black house paint and applied it with a roller and brush. I believe it took 3 coats to get fully covered.
You can use the static clingy window tint film too. I used the darkest one they had, and although it's still slightly translucent when you hold it up to the light, on the back of the tank with the tank lights on, it looks like any other solid black background. It stays in place, but can be peeled off and reused. Just clean the glass thoroughly, spray it down with water, apply the film, and squeeze out the air/water bubbles with a credit card, putty knife, etc.
