I recently attempted a few repaints a mans stretch 30+ and a Squirely Burt. The burt i drilled and added lead as it was a unweighted version and i find them far too bouyant. I filled the lead holes with milliput and gave it a coat of epoxy before painting. I have tested it and it works great now.

The mans was just a simple strip down and repaint, i think the colours are really good though.
