I have a hard time believing that putting a metallic paint over a metallic surface causes anything but more shininess. Sounds like avionics companies got to a point where they couldn't pinpoint the issue so they blamed it on someone else. Long history in aviation of mechanics and avionics guys embracing the blame game.
You nailed it, John!

Honestly I can't think of a sillier mod either. I hardly ever touch the throttle as it is. Push it forward to go up. Pull it back to go down. My hand is on the throttle maybe 2 minutes in an entire flight.
