Whats on the engine now is just primer. The FRA does not allow the painting of couplers as it can hid cracks and other defects in them that may need drastic attention

In addition to the fact that it's illegal to paint the couplers, one must also remember that the paint would wear off very quickly due to the constant, violent, metal-to-metal contact that goes along with coupling and uncoupling.
