Yes, you can paint over Marcite (a type of plaster used in pools), but it's important to prepare the surface properly first. Clean the pool thoroughly to remove any dirt, algae, or oils, and allow it to dry completely. Use a paint specifically designed for pool surfaces, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for application. Keep in mind that painting may not be as durable as resurfacing, and you'll need to maintain it regularly.

How do you resurface a concrete pool with marsite?
Marcite is a thing of the past, at least here in Florida. It used to be a good product, but after the removal of asbestos, it does not last as long as before. The quaztz aggregate finish replaced marcite. Instead of use of marble,like in marcite, it uses quartz. Diamond Brite is one of many brands available. Then you have hydrazzo which is a kind of marcite with a twist; it is polished after finished to a glassy feeling. Pebble finish is also available; it is a little bit rougher than quartz aggregate finish. The latest thing for pool finish is the use of glass beads(beadcrete).
