I've seen it done.
The paint cracks. Dont do it imo.
If you really want to do it i'd recommend having a bash at dying them black.

Never done it myself but i would just buy some dye from ebay or a website such as http://www.fabricdyes.co.uk apply it to the sunvisor and hope it sets in. You might need to clean it off the mirror once finished.
White spirit should get it off the mirror easily enough. Or nail varnish removing or something.
