Mmmm that doesn't sound good. I really wonder what kind of paint the romans used for their shields. Egg tempera paint doesn't stand up good to water and encaustic melts in the sun... Can you use both types of paint to paint on a rawhide cover?
What paint should one use for a shield to be as authentic as possible?
Valete,
