you should not paint wood -- you should stain it to show off its natural beauty. If you must paint it, however, you can use any quality latex paint or, if the wood will be exposed to weather, oil-base paint. In either case, bare wood should be primed first. If the wood will be exposed to weather or damp locations, it's a good idea to prime all sides, not just the one that shows.

It depends on where the wood will be kept. Water based paints are fine for indoors but an oil based paint is a necessity for anything outdoors.

Do not paint them, that could change the quality of their percussion. I expect varnish (or polyurethane) is the covering you want. Burning a picture on the handles sounds cool. Stickers too. Nice idea!
