Decorating probably cost as much as the plating underneath it.
Best to just give it a good buff up then lacquer it to stop the rust.
Didn't do much good anyway, the Bodkin point (Arrow head) created the lovely square holes visible in museum exhibits to day. That had to hurt.

Stung just a little.
If they didn’t lacquer or otherwise decorate the armor, there was a jerkin, I forget the actual term for it, that went overtop the armor.
This was usually decorated with colors indicating who you were or who you fought for.
Or it just marked you as the guy everyone should hate on today.
