Paul B,
I do not think that The Greeks had such as Lacquer . My Only point to bring this up was that the " Tube and Yoke " Armour shows signs to me of being composite , or made of layers . That obsevation comes from Art of the periods we are talking of .That much shows edging material as on Pteryges. It seems not to be only decorative , but functional purpose as in holding together some layers or composition. Now if we had a Material such as Leather Covered Rawhide ( the leather serving as a weather barrier ) The leather could easily be decorated , Painted or Chalked , no need for such as Enamel or Lacquer for the barrier .
