Pretty sure that MZs of the two stroke era were all painted. Pretty awesome paint actually - lasts much, much longer than the chrome!

They were done in paint all those years ago and adding to that the paints can be desolved in thinners so that means it would have been air dried cellulose not the 2k we use today.
