Ok real simple.Get these exact gloves,<a href=\"http://cgi.ebay.com/New-PIRATE-MUSKETEER-GLOVES-GAUNTLETS-Costume-Accessory_W0QQitemZ130233492436QQihZ003QQcategoryZ155348QQtcZphotoQQssPageNameZWVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\" target=\"_blank\">http://cgi.ebay.com/New-PIRATE-MUSKETEER-G...1QQcmdZViewItem</a>Now, cut off the hand and the buckles, get yourself some liquid latex off e-bay.Tear up toilet paper, and roll it into long joint looking rolls, dip them into the latex, and randomly put them onto the gauntlet sleeve until it is covered with them.Make sure you overlap them here and there to look like dead rotted skin.When it is all covered, brush the latex all over it and saturate the TP really good.when it dries it will be flexible and you will have the texture you need.then simply paint.Spray paint works fine, as long as it is flat spray.I also use acrylic watered down and dabbed on with a paper towel to get darker colors into the little pockets.If you want a slightly smoother look, you can find shelf liners that have a bit of a texture, that you can glue to the arm cover.Again, you will want to coat it with latex, and paint.these are really inexpensive ways, that anyone can do.I used the TP method on the lower portion of my Manhatten shirt to achieve the texture.after you cut the glove part off you wanna run some flexible goop to seal the cut edge, as there is a comfy foam lining in these gloves.Hope this helps some of ya.
