Not really, paint does not stick to polyethylene very well and would make the slide rough rather then 'slippery'.
Alternative:Actually, some forms of epoxy paints will adhere to polyethylene. The issue is roughness again. If you prepare the surface by sanding it smooth, and spray the paint in layers, sanding each layer with progressively finer grit sandpaper, you should be able to produce a smooth enough finish to make sliding feasible. You might also need to wax or polish the slide's surface after the last coat of paint has set completely.
If however there is any portion of the surface of the slide that is dirty, or has any sort of oil on it, the paint will not adhere there, and will create a peeling point that could spread over the entire surface of the slide.

What can be used to patch polyethylene?
Specialized adhesives designed for polyethylene, such as polyethylene adhesive or polyethylene repair tape, can be used to patch polyethylene materials. These products are formulated to bond effectively with polyethylene, providing a secure and durable patch. Additionally, heat welding or using a polyethylene welding kit can also be an effective method for patching polyethylene.

Can polyethylene be painted?
Polyethylene can be painted with a moderate amount of success if properly prepared. You should only use acrylic paint on polyethylene. The surface needs to be cleaned and scuffed up with a fine grit sandpaper to hold the paint.
How do you paint polyethylene buoys?
To paint polyethylene buoys, first clean the surface with soap and water to remove any dirt or grease. Then, lightly sand the surface to improve paint adhesion. Next, apply a primer suitable for plastics, followed by a coat of paint designed for outdoor use and compatible with plastics. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next.

probably not because the Lego is a slick surface and the water based paint would just slide off. i would try using acrylic paint instead.
