Color and rust

This is a fragment of an old locomotive. I like its verdigris color and lines. Although when I see painted screw thread, I get shivers.

The color blocks are wonderful here. Why does the painted screw thread give you shivers?

@jyokota Screw connections are used to connect or adjust moving parts. For this to work properly, it must be possible to adjust the pressure or disconnect the elements. When you paint over such a connection, you lose these possibilities. Therefore, threaded connections are preserved with grease.
