Paint Interior Heater Metal Pieces?

[RPM 1,190]

Non a/c or concourse car. The flapper vent piece and heater core surround frame weren't painted on mine, probably all. You guys that have gone thru them, did you paint them? If I don't, I'll be long dead by the time they rust up anyway.

I painted mine with a brush on Rustoleum Metal Primer (reddish in color). Maybe over kill but peace of mind for me.

Great minds think alike!

I just walked into the house from the shop after painting it with spray Rustoleum. Put them in the oven to dry :)

I painted mine with red Rustoleum primer then coated with Rustoleum stainless steel. Parts look like they were just bead blasted. Love that paint.
