As I understand Ruben's thought,his point is that soft leather is wraped and un wrapted all the time,not to mention it's flexibility during the pushing and fighting.When you do all these to the cuirass,it's external surface is becoming larger and smaller.For a paint to last in such treatment it has also to be flexible.A flexible paint sounds unlikely in ancient times.Sorry Ruben if I explained your theory incorrectly
