Anyone know why some wiper motors are bare silver and some have a gold plating on them?

I think I am right in saying (but somebody correct me if I am wrong) that the gold looking zinc coating is correct but it wears off fast. If you didn't know it was supposed to be gold you might paint it silver during restoration by mistake.

Been there, done that.
