They are stainless. And, if you want the hassle of taking them off every month then go ahead and pollish them but the colour will return after one good ride. It's a characteristic of stainless steel getting hot.
I expect you've seen those flashy Titanium pipes with loads of different colours on them. That's exactly the same thing. It's just that stainless steel only goes one colour.
The little paint marks are put on during final inspection to show the bolt has been checked at the correct torque. It can also show if a bolt is coming lose, if the bit of paint on the bolt doesn't line up with the bit on the case.
