I get it, wanting it to look pretty but honestly if you wanted to preserve those components, that's where polishing them to mirrors should be done. That way they're still 100% functional without contact surfaces having paint on them.

This restoration is being completed according to the customer's request.

Why the torch?

to ensure all the moisture gets out before we continue to restore.

Tell me you don’t know what you’re doing without saying a word just paint the mating surfaces

These were sandblasted to remove rust. Therefore, they needed to be coated so they wouldn't flash rust. This is a full restoration, not just a bearing replacement. Additionally, this was at the customer's request.
