I didn't take it as such - no worries Dave.

I don't like paint on engines which is why I stripped the paint off the LA25 I have. If I did anything, I'd have parts anodized which hardens the surface slightly, protects against oxidation, and doesn't hinder heat exchange. Besides - paint looks cheap to me anyway. I think I'll leave this one au naturale.
