Those look like threads I've seen used with plastic fittings...

I'd be tempted to find a hose with a tight fit pushed on over
that thread. Maybe put an o-ring on the portion before where the thread
starts. Use a radiator clamp on the hose to seal it. A tie-wrap might
even work. Should be good enough for testing. It's not going to be
sucking that hard and you could always place the paint container higher
than the intake. It would tend to siphon the paint into the pump
then too...
