I've read answers that tell you how to paint them, but I'd be leery of trying paint on an unknown surface. You can go online and search for slip covers, and they'd probably be your best bet. If you're young and healthy you can make the slip covers yourself. I'm old and feeble so that doesn't come to mind--my husband sleeps in his recliner for medical reasons, and it looks like it's been through the wars, although mine that was purchased at the same time still looks brand new. We're going to have to do something about them but he is highly resistant to the idea. Sigh.
I just painted two smaller vinyl covered lounge chairs. I just used tubes of acrylic paint that were 50 cents each at Walmart. So far I've had no problems, but I just painted them Saturday. My kids and dogs have been jumping and playing on them and it hasn't chipped or scratched at all yet. Seems pretty durable.
Stretchy slipcovers. I would not spend much on them, as you can get them pretty cheap at garage sales / thrift shops - in decent condition.
Thanks so much ! I'll definitely try your advice.
