I didn't have time to really custom paint it, but the armor looks better than I expected! I did however have enough time to use magnets to attach my SMGs to my legs. Good luck to everyone who is making one!
*Edit* I added a picture with the SMGs attached to the armor. It's somewhat dark, but you can see it.
Also, all I did for the texture was bondo everything. I was rushed for time so i didnt get it perfectly smooth. So then I sanded it using 100 grit paper and left all the imperfections. After that, I painted everything with a white primer spray paint, then Hosta leaf (green) Krylon spray paint. For the black, I used Krylon Black sea "H20" latex spray paint (i think it was a primer as well) Anyway I just sprayed it on and quickly tried to wipe it away. Most of the black paint stayed in the imperfections and actually gave it a nice look! I also tried using a hammered silver spray paint for metalic scratches, but I wasn't great at the technique so I just didn't do it.
