Sure, but they will feel like sandpaper and look rough.
If they are bare wood, yes. If they have a finish that you are going to paint over then sanding wood be a good idea so the paint doesn’t rub off or peel.
Thanks! Will find a different option.

It requires some patient sanding and oil-basedpaint products to adhere to the plastic and polyurethane finishes on wood and commercial wood furniture.
You sure can! if the have a finish just scuff it up with some sandpaper. No finish just spray away. Several light coats will get you a smooth finish.
Your prep work will determine your finished product.
