I cut a lot of wood that I paint first, I use different paints some acrylic, some spray enamel , some stained and poly. To be honest I can't say with certainty that its safe to do so , but I haven't had any ill effects. I would think that if you have a good exhaust system you'll be ok, but let some others chime in here first. I think we all do what we do. I'd also read up on the paints you want to use, maybe the msds and see if they give off any harmful fumes when burned.
As far as harming the laser I don't think they will have any bad effects on the machine. Just keep it cleaned, and oiled you should be OK. JMHO

There is no issue when cutting acrylic painted items as long as there is no issue with the item itself.
