    painting a barrel black on the outside is a way of expelling more heat (actually keeps the barrel cooler) they dip them in paint befor machining them so it will have flakey paint on the inside.. its best to just leave it and paint the outside if you feel the need (just mask up the top botom and exhaust port befor you do)
