I have a shed painted gray. It sits off of the ground and the previous
owners put reddish cottage stones around it which looks nice, and really
finishes it off. It also keeps the skunks out from going underneath it.

If it does all that, leave them alone.

Can these stones be painted gray? They are porous. If so, can they be
spray painted, or would it be better to brush paint the stones?

It's better to leave them alone.

Also, would the paint eventually flake off?

Paint sucks, and seldom wears or fades away nicely, but generally flakes
off, leaving a mess.

I don't want to create a
huge job which means all the stones would have to be painted every other
year or so.

If I had to paint them, I would be looking at more of a dye or stain
than for paint. Paint on brick or cement sounds like asking for trouble.
