Specialty Gardening: Plastic Container Repair, 1 by Dirus

I'm thinking of repairing this plastic pot. I believe it's a 45 gallon container. I measured it and it's 22 inches wide at the top and 20 inches tall. I'm thinking it's probably in the $30 to $50 range. Does this sound right?

My plan is to buy a roll of duct tape and cover the pot entirely, starting at the bottom and working my way up and into the pot. Then, after it's entirely covered, get some sort of textured spray paint and spray over it. Duct tape is fabric-reinforced, so it should hold up fine with the plastic there. Estimated cost is $4 of duct tape and $8 for spray paint.

What do you think?

Some back story: My neighbor was cutting down one of his trees and a branch fell on this larger plastic pots. It put a crack in the side and chipped off pieces of the rim. I taped some of the broken off pieces back on with masking tape so I wouldn't lose them, but some smaller pieces were simply lost. This pot is over 10 years old, probably closer to 15 years old, but it's held up to the sun fairly well.
