Yeah you could paint them!

Make sure you prep the surface.
Use a 400grit sandpaper and wetsand the surface.
prime, paint, clear coat and your set!

There are also places where you can rent out a paint booth.
Around where i live it cost's $50 for 24 hours. That should be more than enough time.

You should also use a Automotive paint, anything else just might chip off and look like shit.
