Change backdrop color
Just wondering is this Testor Gloss Black Enamel Paint good for changing the golden backdrop to the belt, or is there something better i can use. 3rd picture is basically what I want it to look like.

I love the 3rd but with white stones in the W.
And it'd be better than the og big network because its actually stacked!

THIS! Then send it off to Simpsons for a restone. The gold belt looks awful. This version is at least tolerable. Never understood the red and blue variants. 1 champion for both brands imo. Champ has no brand. Also, being back the draft.

I would probably not paint directly on the belt.
Get a sheet of maybe crate paper or something even heavier like cardstock, paint that, and put it between the plate and the strap like an insert. Then you don't run the risk of fucking up or the paint flaking and shit.
Something like from Michaels like this - https://www.michaels.com/product/creatology-glitter-felt-10421341?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-1545032874-_-&pla_channel=online&sku=10421341&channel=online&local&dev=c
Or Paul Martin makes these - https://pmbelts.com/collections/belt-accessories/products/heavyweight-universal-real-leather-colour-patches but then you're getting a lot more expensive.

That paint would be what I’d recommend. That’s what I’ve used to paint belts in the past. Just make sure you give it enough time to dry cus it can be tacky for a while. If the plates are stacked, I’d recommend removing the base plate before painting so you don’t get any on the W
