Here is my first custom painting of a figure since I was a kid.

The arms are, of course, TF Flint's. The hands came from Grunt. I trimmed off the cuff then cut off the little post and glued it back onto the hand. This works great by the way - the post is bonded to the hand very strongly so that the hand can turn and can even be taken back out without breaking off the post.
The paint I used was an almost exact match for the original color, only it may be a little too glossy (there was no option for flat). It looks very dark in this picture, but that's the lighting. I did not paint the belts, and they look dark as well.
