Well Tom, obviously this is *possible*, but it may not be entirely practical. What is required is a material that is dense enough to "detonate" the micrometeoroid and offers a grippable surface. This adds up to weight which means $$ and time. Thin foil covering is too light - the objects would just punch through, and the film is to slithery to grip anyway.

I reckon some sort of rubberised coating like motorcycle handgrips would be good - impacts would ether ablate a lump of soft rubber, or just get buried in it. Rubberised handgrips would be practical to use, and there would be some thermal insulation as well. Trouble is, the material has to survive in the vacuum and radiation environment of space.
