I think you'll find it's difficult to get paint to stick properly to the
standard body as it's very cheap plastic. Apparently you can dye it though,
using fabric dye. Not tried it myself, but I dare say someone else here has.

If you do go the paint route, make sure you choose a flexible paint, perhaps
something normally used on polycarbonate body shells for R/C buggies.
