I think painting the outside would be fine but I wouldn't use enamel or latex paint on the inside. The thickness of the wood, being laminated it would chip, peel with temp and humidity however a nice oil based stain would hold up nicely and allow the wood to breath just don't try to use a stain with a water treatment or coating. 

I have my set coming in as well and I was thinking about doing a how to video for others that might want to do this.
