Painted cuirasses

[Dain II.]

I mentioned linseed-oil-paint and casein-paint because both worked very well on metall, iron as brass as bronze. Only, the linseed-oil needs much time to dry, a week or so. You can warm it up so it drys faster. And when you paint more layers of linseed-oil over the paint it get's like varnish. I use it also for painting and sealing the facings of my weapons, shields, armour, furnitures, tentpoles, unflexible leather or rawhidethings etc. I only have good experience until now.

And I find painted or sealed helmets, cuirasses and greaves very comfortable because you don't need to polish the corrision away after every event. Okay, the bronze and the iron isn't that shiny after sealing it with linseed-oil, it get's darker, browner, but why not?
