Painting (not dying) sola wood flowers?

I ordered a large beautiful sola wood bouquet from a professional. It’s exactly what I ordered... but now I realize I need to change the colors! I’ve read a lot about dip dying sola wood but mine are stuck pretty well in the bouquet and I don’t want to destroy it! My question is, could I just hand paint the few offending flowers? My plan is to carefully wrap the ones I want to keep in cellophane, use acrylic paint and just paint every petal. I worry it will make the flowers too heavy and brittle. Has anyone tried this before?
