Cant see why not, which part are you thinking of painting?, if you paint the wrong part you'll ruin the distance they project light.

aslong as your not thinking of painting the reflector i can't see why not, any other part of the light unit shouldn't affect the light pattern

Legally you can do whatever the ££££ you want to your headlights as long as the light emitted is white and the beam pattern is correct.
I have painted the inside of them on projector lights blue before which was fine, and I have 40 denier tights over my current headlights. All legal.

iv got lense covers on mine,

then refitted the covers,that way the paint dont come off with stone chips or wind etc lol.

i was tempted to buy those twin light units but they never seem very good quality,and i didnt like bits of it,
so i thought its just easier and cheaper to do it myself...
dont affect mot either,if you look at the lense closely you can see the circles,and cut offs on the glass,
the headlights are crap on 850s anyway and im not allowed out after dark so it dont make much difrence to me lol.

Same here, i have crystals on mine so not sure whether to paint them, but the projector lights looked really good in smoked and would look great to finish off the look on my R,
