Just another note, when I pulled off various pieces of my engine (valve covers, water pump, filler tube, etc that are were originally engine color. There was no paint on the surface that mates with the block, nor was the block painted on the mated surface area.

I've seen NOS replacement parts come painted in thin/dull black. Which I think was more of a primer to ward off "shelf rust", vs a finished paint.
