you can use anything you want for crown molding. As long as you like it, that's all that matters
I did paint my crown molding before I installed it but I did have to go back and fill nail holes, do touch up and chalk along the ceiling. I have regular wood crown molding in my bathroom and it has held up fine to moisture. As far as using base molding--it would go on the wall more like a border. Crown molding is installed at an angle. I recently used a thinner base molding in my farm house style kitchen rather than crown molding and it looks great.
You can use anything you like - if it looks good to you then it works! Yes, I would paint first, with the correct paint formula. Let it dry thoroughly before installing. Yoi will still need to do touch up, but it should need to be a big deal. Here are some examples of foam crown molding.

For installation, as they say: measure twice, cut once! Invest in an inspection mitre box to make your job easier. Also make a few practice cuts to get the hang of it. Now here is how to install:
