There are a few techniques you could try in order to do a faster streamlined process: you could try staining them with something like watered down ink, or dye, or you could try to do a airbrush paint method where you do the largest areas with the airbrush and then small things like the rope hand touched up. This is how chalkware and old carnival booth cast items from the 30's and 40's were done. They often used stencils in conjunction with airbrushing to do medium to small areas as well. A lot of time there was a bit of over spray, but it sort of added to the hand made charm.
