Probably not.

Krylon has come out with a paint engineered to work on plastics. There may
also be other brands available.
I would try to match the colors as best as I could, and use the stuff
designed to work on plastics to paint these plastic pieces.
You might also look around for some white door guard material to replace
the black door guards.

________________________________________________
There are many available touch-up paints for plastic. You
may have to experiment to find one compatible with the
particular plastic in your door guards. It may take several
coats to cover the dark bumper.
Expect even the best white paint to chip off with time and
bumping, exposing sections of the underlying black bumper.
A more permanent solution might be to replace the black
bumper with a new white or gray one.
Good luck.
