Red face painting lampshades

I can't seem to find a lampshade in a color I want, so I was wondering if it was safe to paint a lampshade. If so, what type of paint would be best?

Painting lampshades

The type of paint used will depend on the type of material out of which your lampshade is constructed. For example, fabric paints can be used for fabric lampshades.

Covering a lampshade in fabric is also an option:
