I would imagine if you're willing to do enough preparation and post production work, you could probably throw paint on and make it look decent. I painted a guitar once with no primer, no sealer, about 15 spray cans of lacquer. I didn't even know enough to color sand the lumpy mess after spraying. I just used a high speed buffer. It took me a week but it looked like black glass when I was done. Point is, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
