That depends upon how neatly you paint. If you get paint inside the slots, it could interfere with the electrical connection that is supposed to be made when you insert a plug. If you only paint the outside and get no paint inside, then there is no effect on the functioning of the outlet.
ANOTHER OPTION:
Child proof plastic outlet covers can be painted over when painting the actual outlet. When you want to use the outlet, remove the plastic cover. When the outlet plug is not in use, insert the child proof plastic covers. The plastic cover will blend right in with the outlet cover plate. It looks very nice with Hammered Spray Paint!
