Hey, I'm just a sound guy, but I've been married to an artist for over 30 years....

If you have a little extra money spray paint one box and hand paint acrylics on another. Then shoot in a few different light situations to see which look you like best. Also experiment with gloss vs. matte, etc.

*** I don't know what your script is, but maybe the "sprays" don't like the "acrys".

For just a sound guy that's good advice, Alcove.

That would be my suggestion, peter. Try both options, shoot some
footage under different lighting conditions, do a little editing, maybe
some color correction and see what works best for YOU in YOUR situation.

Post your test without telling us which is which and we can offer opinions
on the finished look.

I think what you meant to say is that Alcove gave some sound advice.
