Crutch handles, anyone make 'em?

I have a friend who uses forearm crutches, and she is unhappy with the color of her soft rubbery ergonomic handles. She wants to repaint them, but we all know how that goes.

Does anyone here have the capability to cast these or actually produce them already? I think her goal is to have something that doesn't fade or discolor. They started out as grey, but she tried to paint 'em with Fusion paints. After two weeks, that's rubbing off.

Any other suggestions are welcome. These are ergonomic grips, not the straight handles. Didn't Forrest Gump as a kid have some crutches like this, to keep it prop-related? :lol

Heat shrink tubing?

Comes in various colors, up to 2 or 3" ID, shrinks to 1/2 or less with a heat gun. Should be durable enough, I often use it for tool handles.

Excellent suggestion! I passed it along to her, thanks.
