Hmmm! I never had factory alloys on my car, so I can't speak from direct experience. But to my knowledge, 914 alloys of any variety every had paint on them. I think they were all anodized.

Hey Pat, where's that picture of your Fuchs look-alike hubcaps or whatever you used to have. Were those "anodized?"
Paul
Funny, Mister Biz!
I stated that I'd had no direct experience with alloys, because I know they promote global warming. Paint would have help seal them, but I was unaware.
Seriously, I DO have pictures of those hubcaps - J.C Whitney specials from 1973, but haven't had them converted from slides yet. Yes, they were anodized & actually fairly correct. Nor perfect, but as I recall I paid $20 for the set.
Pic's to follow.
Oh, and I lied. I DID have a set of empi-style allows on my 914 during the '80's. I'll see if I can dig those pics up too.
