I think the answer is "yes."

For good adhesion, you might need to take the shine off of it with super-fine sandpaper or steel wool.

You also should do your own tests with the paint you plan to use to see how well it sticks.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

Your plastic "film" coverings do accept paint.

1. Use a Scotch "Greenie" or 0000 steel wool and scuff the area to be painted. What you want is a frosted appearance. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GO THROUGH ANY HIGH SPOTS.

1. THOROUGHLY clean the area TWICE with rubbing alcohol. Use a clean rag for each cleaning.

2. Re-shrink (re-tighten) the area.

1. Mask the area, then spray primer on the area.

2. After the primer has dried (usually overnight ) you can spray your paint.
