If they’re Luan (economy mahogany) then they’ll be a bit porous.
If you want to paint or stencil or appliqué somethings on them, you may need to put a paintable sealer on them to deal with the porosity.
You can paint. I would suggest taking them down and use a paint sprayer outside. Clean with TSP than sand off sheen. Prime with oil based primer and paint with oil based paint.
