You can paint your vinyl posts with a latex paint. Perhaps an exterior latex paint. Here is some information that tells you how to do it.

Do not use latex paint. It will peel of in sheets/strips. Rustoloeum 2X spray paint or Krylon Fusion spray paint for plastic.

Wrap it with wood boards.
They come in all thicknesses. From 1/4 +. You can even get thin wood panels, cut the them to size, and glue them on the plastic posts with construction adhesive. Use blue painters tape to hold them in place until the glue dries.
You can buy wood boards at any homecenter. Home Depot, Lowes, or Menards. Home Depot can even cut the boards to measurements you need. Most cuts are free.
