I am 3D modelling a museum for a game, and I wanted to give every painting a unique texture. On each painting there are 2 different materials: the frame and the painting. I selected each individual painting and assigned it a different painting material, leaving the frame material as the same.

However after changing every single painting material to an individual material, I realized that the parts of the mesh that the painting material and the frame material are assigned on were swapped (each is assigned to the other's). I can't do ctrl + l because all of the individual paintings are going to change. I really do not want to delete them all and then re-add them.

I tried in a duplicate of the project and I couldn't fully delete the 70 materials I made. Is there a way to change the assignment of each painting, while keeping them assigned to their different materials? I also added material utilities, and couldn't find a way, but there might be one.

Make sure you're in object mode, then try running this script from the text editor. Save beforehand just in case.

import bpy
for mesh in bpy.data.meshes:
    for poly in mesh.polygons:
        poly.material_index = 1 - poly.material_index
