if you do post 97 ones ie the bigger plastic ones then use the same method as for the interior plastic.
i do all my own spraying bodywork infact everything so im not a nobody who doesnt have a clue what they are on about.

no mate, as soon as you bend it in the slightest to put them back on it will crack, if you knock it in the carpark it will crack, on rubber you need to use plasticiser, it makes the paint flexible. infact even if you knocked them with your knee etc.. the paint will crack, its the same for the rubber skirt on the bottom of the front bumper also.

the rubber ones will need plasticiser in the paint, get some post 97 ones to paint up.
