Okay, if you do remove the paint, use an antioxidant to keep the surface
clean.
This is a # 6 (top tray) and #8 (base mount) screw and most paint piercing
washers may be to thin for a layer of carc, but if you have piercing washers
for #6, #8 or #10 screws let me know, I'm looking.
As a further note, properly torqued, you will end up with a "gas tight"
connection and no rust will form.
