Real 89 Belt Color
A while back I heard here that the color for the 89 utility belt was "zinc chromalite yellow". Are we 100% sure the that is the name of the color? The reason I ask is that I came across this tonight and it looked pretty close. It's called "zinc chromate yellow". What do you guys think?

Re: Real 89 Belt color?
I believe that is the real belt Shawn. :wink
I'm not sure of what the name of the exact color is,but I would say whatever it is,it's mainly the base color. The way I heard it is there are several colors mixed in. There's some darker shades for the deeper areas and even some greens mixed in,especially for the buckle.
The one in my avatar is painted over the existing color with a series of thin washes of various colors. The end result is a big difference,but very subtle at the same time. I'm espaecailly proud of the buckle and how the details really stand out.
Unfortunately no matter how hard I try I can't get a good pic. It just keeps looking like it did before I went over it,due to the flash I guess. I have two belts,one for my Returns suit,but only painted one. Side by side the difference is clear.

Re: Real 89 Belt color?
The pic came from a profiles-in-history ebay auction several years ago. It's the real clipping belt. I'm pretty sure it went for around $4,000 to $6,000. I just missed getting it. I wanted this belt so bad but I was at work when the auction ended.
I'd love to know how many clipping belts were actually made. I'm also always looking for belt reference pics so if anyone has anything interesting post em.

Re: Real 89 Belt color?
Actually, that first pic is a pic of the Returns belt, which was pigmented different then the 89 belt. The Returns belt pods are further away from the buckle also. :up

Re: Real 89 Belt color?
It did state in the auction that this belt was from Batman Returns but I wasn't 100% sure. Also I didn't remember them showing the belt getting clipped together in Batman Returns. I wonder if they made all new belts or if some were re-used. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmm. He he he.
