Very very creative, will the paint last, or will it Crack, chip and peel off? BTW, I really like the look!

Being very used to Enamel paint (I assume this is) it will crack rather easily.

If it’s been done right, with a suitable rubber paint, then it should have sufficient flexibility to cope with the bending arc when worn.

Looks good.

I would be a bit worried though about how much of an attention-grabber this would be on my wrist.

I use acrylic paint, after 2 weeks daily use it cracked....
Still looks good in distance, you wont notice

I will post the wrist shot later, thx guys
Any suggestion how to get that looks without paint?
Sticker? Will it stick to rubber strap?

im not an expert but looks like it cracks because the outside of the bracelet stretches slightly when put on the wrist

maybe if you paint it while it is on the wrist, when the rubber is already stretched then the paint will go into the parts that open up

cant really explain but hopefully you know what i mean

Then it compresses when you take it off your wrist and causes the same issue :)
