lar43 is right but you could chuck them up in your drill motor, sand them down and refinish but bear in mind, that would change the spine...the hex shafts do not take kindly to heavy sanding action in my experience...

Dip them full length in a solid color paint, then crest. I've even spray painted shafts when I wanted to change how they looked.

...or you could just dip/spray the crowned and crested end of the arrow with a solid paint color.  Then just recrest over the top.  As for the fore-end of the shaft, I'd just leave it be.

Building new ones is too much fun.  Challenge your buddies with some difficult targets until they break!  "See that little tuft of grass next to that rock.....?"
