Problem with gold/bronze paint
I just got done painting my 89 belt but now that it's dry, I can still run my finger or something else over it and some of the metallic gold comes off. it's not enough to notice on the belt but I think it could rub off on the rest of my suit. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated. I just hope I didn't make it FUBAR.
thanks

Re: Problem with gold/bronze paint
You may have nuked it. Gold paint does not flex with the belt. Also, urethane does not take paint well either.

Re: Problem with gold/bronze paint
No worries, man. It'll probably all flake off or chip off, use a toothbrush? Also some of the guys here can recommend a paint remover that's urethane safe, if one ever existed? Give it a while, someone'll have your answer.....

Re: Problem with gold/bronze paint
Hopefully. I might spray a fixative or protective clear coat over it and see it that works. if not, I'll try soap and water first

Re: Problem with gold/bronze paint
The more layers oyu put over it the more damage is done. It'll never bond right and ill look like hell in the flexed areas... sadly I speak from experience :rollin
P.S. there are certain urethanes and paints that'll do the job from step 1, but 99.9% chance is it's too late for that. Gold keaton belts are a dime a dozen! I have 2 and never wear either :P

Re: Problem with gold/bronze paint
figured out how to get it off! Windex!! When I was in the Corps, we used it to get scratches and scuffs off of our dress shoes, so I figured it could work for taking off paint that hasn't bonded completely. And it works like a charm. now to find a better quality paint.

Re: Problem with gold/bronze paint
I'm a autobody guy (all my life (37yrs), Dad owns a shop) urethane paints pretty easy if you fallow the proper steps. But they are all urethane based paints as well. I can post up some links to what I use if you like.
