The ship's bell is not painted.
Is the ship's whistle left unpainted also?

On USN I don't see why it would not be painted.

Re: Ship's whistle
In my experience, there are steam whistles and air horns. If it is brass it isn't painted. If it is any other metal then it is painted.
I would imagine that steam whistles would most likely be brass and the horns would be steel or other metal.

Re: Ship's whistle
Normally air horns are painted. But then again, some are made of brass.
