    It looks pretty shiny so I would think you could but you would have to spray a primer first.

    I second the suggestion about primer, maybe even try some spray paint instead of regular paint.

    Definitely!

    You'll have to sand the surface (lightly) to get the gloss off & make it a little rough.  Then spray with a primer.  After that's dry (1 or 2 coats) spray with the paint color you want.

    I would recommend using Krylon spray paint.  They're a really good quality spray paint.  I used their products for a project I did for our wedding.  I also have a couple of their products for things I'm working on for the nursery

    Def lightly scuff them with steel wool or a fine sandpaper then use spray primer.   I personally paint anything that stands still long enough in my house. I try to talk myself out of buying something brand new that has tp be altered too much, unless the price or design is just too good to pass up.
