" same way that there is no reason to believe that that they wore pink feather boas." Speaks to my point. It is not at all like that. Musculata seems to have been painted some times or at least decent evidence for it. Painting of armor in history has a long history and is effective. We have rather limited direct evidence of how the surface of the armor was protected in Roman times. So while it might not be probable it is far from pink feather boas that have no logical or historical reason for being used.
The proboblem is when you presume something to strongly you tend to miss the evidence in the other direction if there is any. So while I am not making the case that segmentata was painted it is far from ludicrous to suggested that there is slight possibility it was. More so than say pink feather boas or modern powdercoating
