Brownells AR waffle mag retro/repro and all hands black

my brownells steel waffle mag repros arrived today.
i had black hands just from unpackaging the mags, the paint of the mag is more on my hands now than on the magazine.
do yours discolor also so fast?
wiped it off with a little oiled patch but it only got worse.
seems like they are just spray-painted with a color-can.
i can see the pure metal and i didn't even insert the mag or loaded it.

have the original 1950's/1960's ones also been painted black or were they grey like the 20rds mags of the NAM era rifles?

what did the original waffle mags looked like (color)?
