"Insulated by paint" seems like a very poor idea. It's like someone thought "my boss told me to do this, I don't think I it should be done, and if it isn't worth doing then it isn't worth doing well":-)
Oh -- I'm certainly not recommending it, nor am I suggesting they did it intentionally. Rather, I'm observing that it's a common manufacturing defect, and certainly not limited to Astron. I've seen it in products from many manufacturers, including older Elecraft products (the band decoders), but they've long since gotten religion and fixed that issue.
