I think you can trade those for different kinds of equipment with an extra cost at Army Surplus. The one where I go to Buys and Sells. If you had to paint it, it would just crack off, especially with those string straps. But in a daycare I went to for a school thing, they have this permanent paint for clothes. Like you paint T-Shirts. Maybe You can try those. Not sure where to get them, maybe Wal-Mart? Or any art supply store.
