Dye a belt loop.

Solved

Hello,

I have one of my black belt buckles with a bump at the front, which makes a "little white hole" (I don't know what material it is) visible.
I would like to know if anyone knows how belt buckles are made and especially dyed.
Is there a dye/paint specifically for painting belt buckles? I imagine there is, otherwise how are they made?
Is it possible to repaint it myself (the hole is really tiny), and if so, where to buy and especially WHAT to buy?
If not, where can I have it repainted?

Thank you for your responses.

    Hello
    The loops are painted and then passed through a very hot oven, just like a car body.
    This loop is lacquered, isn't it?

    Hello,

    first of all, thank you for your response.
    Regarding the material, I don't know, it's a Gucci belt, the buckle is black, but I don't know what the material is, here is a photo of the belt:

    Do you think it would be possible to fix this slight defect?
    Thank you in advance for your responses.

    You put a little black hairspray on that small white spot.

    La lacquer is a shiny varnish that you can find in hardware stores and paint shops.

    In auto parts and accessory stores, you can also find sticks with a small brush of paint in different colors, highly adhesive.
