YES, BUT IT MIGHT TAKE MORE THAN ONE COAT.........
If you do so, it would probably not let any light through. If it is fabric you could try spritzing it with a bleach solution to lighten it first.
Yes you can, but it will need to be sprayed in layers. A light coat first, let dry and then continue to spray it until it's totally covered. If it's fabric use fabric spray paint. :)
Thrift stores end up With lots of lamps and lampshades that are very inexpensive, probably less expensive than trying to paint one. So unless the shade has sentimental value perhaps finding one that fits your needs is a better option in this case.
