To my knowledge no paint.  But others may disagree.  I am going off what I have seen out in the wild.

I have never seen one painted. A friend of mine was the original owner….on hers…no paint.

I do not believe the Saginaw M20 was painted.  My car has been in the family since 1970 and is completely original.  I will check in the next few days to confirm.
