a chrome oil filler cap

I was wondering why other 99s had a fancy chrome oil filler cap.
I started looking closer at mine and picking at the paint.

The cap just had spray paint on it, so letting paint remover stand on it for a few moments loosen that up. Underneath you can see why some thought to paint it. To polish it, I used metal polishing rouge and a low RPM buffing (jeweler’s) wheel.
