As mentioned in a earlier post, I spent a lot of time tonight cleaning parts. In this case emergancy brake cable/ rear flange/ pivot thing etc. None of these parts were originally painted. Some are cast metal, others not. As I reassemble them should I paint them or just leave them as is?

Thanks for your thoughts
