Yes! But be mindful of the fumes. They are high in VOC(Volatile Organic Compounds) These compounds are bad for the environment and your health. If the box is going to be indoors allow it to fully dry outside. the scent cant be really overwhelming if you have it indoors too soon.
Why not try painting it with ZERO VOC paint? Or is your mind set on using spray paint?
That answer cannot really be answered because different people like using different paint. For beginners, I think acrylics work well because you can easily cover up your mistakes. Watercolor make good paints for making landscape or water. Oils are more for advanced artists who know what they're doing.
