The feet, no. The pegs, yes. But you'll have to boil 'n' dip the boots to get the Sideshow pegs out and put the HotToys pegs in.

I used a paint pen for Law's vest, it came out looking good. But it took alot of touch up work to get it to look even.

I think you mean the feet will but the Hot Toys pegs wont. You need Sideshow pegs.
madmaninsane made some replacement feet for the Pro:

I don't know how good they are.

I've had the best results from paint pens.
I tried a variety of different fabric paints on pouches, avoid Tulip Soft Fabric paint at all costs, they'll leave your fabric "glittery". I have Deco Art So Soft but I have yet to try it out, the paint pens worked so well.
The Elmer's Painters paint markers are great, just don't over do it. I used some paper towels to lightly dab the paint as I applied it so it wouldn't have too much paint which would give it that paint "sheen" when dried. Also they're alcohol soluble.

The pens I mentioned can be bought at Wall Mart for $2, they're $4.47 at Hobby Lobby.

Here's a before and after on some Crazy Dummy pouches:

Before they were green:

After they're black:

With Flash and some of the backs:

Sorry for the crappy after pics.
That's with the Elmer's Painters marker. There might be something a bit better that StealthFox uses.

That looks pretty damned good. Does the color run? When I use rit (and I like it a lot, make no mistake), it does not color the thread. Another question...does the fabric of the poches get stiff from the paint or do they keep there texture?
