Why would anyone paint a carburetor gold?

As I  told Grant in a private email - I learned something here.

I've  got six carbs that I just rebuilt on the table next to me as I type 
this along  with a seventh which is nearly completed.  I do detect a slight 
color  variation between tops and bottoms on a few (not all) of them now that 
I look  more closely, but nothing as pronounced as the carbs I've seen from 
 Grant.  Up until now, I just figured that he was making the tops that  
gold color as sort of a signature that the carbs had been rebuilt by  him.

Later, JR

?

I have about 50 or so 'Vair carbs and about  half of them have that 
same gold finish on the tops.  That includes  the ones on my '60 which 
are as gold'ish as a Quadrajet.
