I decided to paint it after all when I found some copper paint so here it is now. Of course, this required disassembly which is why I decided to do it after seeing how difficult masking would be doing it later. The reservoir cover screws and cap are only finger-tight for the photo.
However, I think there may now be a problem that wasn't there before as I noticed that the flange at the end of the cylinder shaft is much farther back (or forward, depending on point of view) than it should be and will never actuate the compensator! Looks like I'll have to take it apart again to see what's wrong but I suspect that the other end of the shaft did not engage into the recess in the vacuum booster assembly. It was in it (I heard it snap in and saw that the flange was where it was supposed to be) but I must have pulled it out without realizing it while positioning the booster piston.
It's difficult to see but the flange is at the top of the compensator hole in this photo.
