To paint or not to paint ?

[johnboy]

I starting to restore my sandcast bike , now i wonder if i have to paint the engine cases( like the diecast cases) ore are the sandcast cases unpainted ?
My sandcast enginenumber is : 1004689.
They are without any paint now, so i guess it souled be like this.

Can so mewone tell me what to do.

Thanks !

Both cases are painted.

They were painted by Honda. I've watched the paint come off in the bead blaster on an engine that I know was original.
