Is it possible to paint the matting for a picture?

We recently painted our family room a different color. The details of our picture on the mantle have the new accent color I am looking for put the matting does not match. Would love to paint it, if I can, to prevent a costly redo of the mat.

Yes, you can, just use spray paint for a nice even look. You could even cover it with fabric for a different look.

Yes. Just use a flat spray paint
of course, I do it all the time ! Carefully remove the frame...and paint away !!
Go the the thrift store and buy a cheap picture of anything. Buy a large one and practice with a dry brush point technique. Thinking with multiple dry thin dry coats it will work but U have 4 side to practice on so try one side at a time.
Yes, you can. I would recommend a spray paint so that it's even. Let it dry thoroughly before assembling it back together.
