Yes, the flanger blades were painted, not frequently, but painted. Probably during annual inspections. Not just as a rust preventative, but as a rule the C&S was very good about keeping much of their equipment in well maintained condition. Especially in Denver. Not freight equipment so much, but locomotives, passenger equipment in use, and other stuff like the rotarys. The rotary wheels and shrouds were treated with Graphite and Oil as a rust preservative as well as to prevent ice and snow buildup. This was a silvery gray color.
