The only reason I think there is a chance of it being painted is that there seems to be very faint brush strokes.  Given the fact that the last time my motor was touched was 1969 and the decals are original, I very highly doubt that it is not original, but I don’t know if these strokes were from plating or painting, but plating would seem to be more likely based on the way that it degrades.
