Painting recommendations and compatibility for ready-made SLS parts

Hi everyone,
Are the existing SLS 3d printed parts suitable for painting, whether by spray-painting, hand painting, or other methods? Which paint types are recommended? are there any to avoid due to compatibility issues?

Dear,

SLS parts are good for painting. 

You can also order spray painted parts directly at Xometry, what I also think, is the best option to achieve a constant result.
