Changing Pad Colors Advice/Recs

I'm about to pull the trigger on a used set of pads, but there's one color I want to change on them. That color is found on the leather and some fabric of the glove. Before I do something I will regret, does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations on how I can alter this color?

This is what I am thinking about doing, so please let me know if this won't work:

• For the pads, I am just going to paint over the old color with an acrylic leather paint. Maybe apply some kind of finisher to seal the paint.
• For the fabric on the glove, just paint over it with a fabric paint. Again, maybe there's some kind of finisher/sealer to apply.

Will this work? I don't really want to do PadSkinz because I am not sure I have the patience/ability for tracing and cutting.
