Well I'd understand of course if they didn't paint the part of the slide that slides with the blaster's shell. But I don't think that would be one of the reasons they don't paint the shell, especially since it is a moving part but none of the painted areas would actually be rubbing against anything (except for the user's palm, which could still scuff up the paint). Nevertheless, there have been painted slides/priming handles in the past. The fact that it's uncoloured is just Hasbro being Hasbro.
