Steve, the gold-colored substance in the photo is beneath the pink substance. I'm quite sure that the filler is Bondo - has the same texture and consistency.
As to whether the paint is original or not: Underneath a couple coats of spraybomb jobs appears to be a rather thick, quality black paint job which I would assume to be original. No reason why it should not, for this one coat is definitely not from a spray can.

Kurt,
So you're wondering about the gold colored metal? I wonder is that could be spots from welding. Or maybe a side effect of the heat treatment.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the glazing putty I mentioned is essentially thinned polyester filler (Bondo). It has a very fine consistency that can be sanded very smooth. And it is usually pink.
Good luck finding Klein. I understand he used to frequent Waterloo, but probably not lately.
