Peace be with you
A lot if you listen to Mercedes. In their W196(?) GP cars of the '30s they left the aluminium bodywork unpainted to save the weight of the paint to get within the class weight regulations. Thats where the tag of 'the silver arrows' comes from that has also spawned the culture that German hi-perf cars should be silver.
