grill posts

[Eric R]

I thought the centre grill post of P5s andf P5Bs were of anodised aluminium but removing low-tack masking tape I find that it has a single coat of a paint of some kind - bare metal now exposed.
Its paper thin and shows no tin worm anywhere so it surely must be aluminium or an alloy so why matt paint with no primer or undercoats?

It is ally but mine are not painted. Perhaps a PO's tidy up mod?

Clean them up and give a coat of "matt" silver "not" on the centre section.
