[QUOTE="Antiquer, post: 222470, member: 4308"]I'm not saying you should do this!! I'm only saying what I would do to determine which material its painted on! If it was my piece than I would heat up a needle and search for a area on the piece which will not come sight and lightly touch it with the red hot needle and smell it.
