I think that would be a bad idea as spray paint probably is not food grade and eggs are alive and respire. Plus by law there is certain information that must be on the carton and it must be there in a very precise way (you need to use a certain font size and there are other requirements-in other words you will need labels with your information and you should use those labels to block out the old information. Don't worry about blocking out the brand name, people will know they are your eggs.

one reason to use new cartons (or at least cartons from smaller farms or Organic farms) is eggs are alive and if there is salmonella, campybolactor or any other egg born diseases in the carton your eggs will pick that up and become contaminated
