You sure can! Any good quality spray paint of your choice will be find. Rustoleum paints tend to be the most popular. Use several lighter coats so it does not run when spraying. If the motor has holes or slots, try not to spray directly into those. This is the area where any heat that is generated by the fan when running needs to breath. You can also brush it on if you like.

We painted ours several years ago using rustoleum hammered metal spray paint. They still look great.

I used Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint. It looks great.
