Not normal. Somebody thought the oil would drain better. If it doesn't make a lot of horsepower don't worry about it. I don't like peeling paint inside a engine.
Hmm, I might attempt a cleanup
I would have the shop vac running while chipping the paint off. Tip it over and pull the pan. That paint has to settle somewhere. May be in the pick up screen.
You read my mind! I'm glad I picked up that pan gasket now. Thanks

Oil eventually turns poisonous "green" ,,,,,,,,,don't touch anything on that motor, keep it complete, ship it to me and I'll properly dispose of it at an official EPA disposal site. There is a disposal fee!
There always has to be 1. Thanks

Looks like they finished the spray bomb off by painting the rocker shaft hold down washers the same color! 
I'm still confused why someone would do this.
Some think painting the lifter valley promotes oil drainage. Painting lifter valleys, what did ya use?
Supposedly this motor has under 10k on it since it left the machine shop. I guess the paint wasn't installed properly . I think it's a horrible idea anyway.
