Goat belly turned light tan

My goats belly has turned a light tan color, instead of black. Is this normal or the signs of a issue.

Mine is tan also and has been for a while. I've seen posts where guys will use some hi-heat spray paint and repaint them black. This is just to make them a little less noticeable.

Why not use some sun screen on your goat.

I used the leftover high temp flat black from the de-baffle job to paint the belly flat black. Looks nice.

In my experience no matter what you spray on the goatbelly it will always turn tan eventually. Lots of heat there.

High heat flat black will keep it looking good for about a year before you have to paint it again.
