Question
The black color on my head tefillin box has peeled off a bit. I painted the peeled part with regular black paint, without any kosher certification that everything is 'from what is permissible in your mouth'. Is there any significance to this certification initially? And what about after the fact? Thank you very much!
Answer
Shalom Rav
There is no need to repaint.
After the fact, one can rely on the assumption that regular black paint is chemical and does not contain substances forbidden for consumption.
