I don't see why not, especially if the outer plastic covering is still on the body. I would suggest using a blow dryer with cool air to blow any of the dust out of the inside of the body first before painting.

yeah you can add more paint. just use yellow or white. and make sure to wash the inside of the body with soap and water before painting. just scrub with your fingers and nothing abrasive or else you will scratch the other yellow and you will be able to see the scratches. good luck!
