you can paint them if you find the right color or you could just buy new ones.

good idea! i was thinking about sanding mine down first, so that the paint will adhere to it. i would sand it down, primer, sand, and paint. then another final coat with clear coat.

i don't know if it sounds like much, but that's what i would do...
