Personally, I do not polish or paint the chassis or IF cans etc. I will clean the chassis and touch up any rust spots with aluminum paint to match and blend with the surrounding area.
Originally the aluminum parts were raw aluminum and while somewhat shiny, most did not have a mirror polished appearance. I prefer to maintain the original look as much as possible. Something that is 80 years old should gracefully show its age just a bit.
