Because of the width and compliance of the leather seal on the vacuum piston there is no need to be concerned about pitting in the can unless its extreme enough to abrade the seal. TVs were not painted at all when new, all was natural metal finish. I paint all of mine dull silver to cover the depradations of time and the lid of the reservoir and cap copper as they were originally copper flashed.
