Yes, I will say you are correct on this. I have done several of these units and have had some restored for me. I have used Rust-Olium colors Silver Metallic & Matte Nickel. Lately I have had the rear cover brackets media blasted then powder coat primed in a medium dark gray. The bell I like to have blasted then just a light clear coat. I also like to remove the center rib that runs around the periphery of the harp. Good Luck, Petro2013
