#1. If you want to. I personally think it looks nice as is, though some people prefer their bells to have a fresh coat of paint on them.
#2. You're gonna need to get a replacement mounting piece for the bell no matter what you do, it appears. You can probably order one from WCH though, the part number is WCH 1206-20.
They/Them for me, please.

Okay, thanks! I won't paint it. I will contact WCH again for a replacement piece. :Grin:
