I am a happy customer or yours, and I voted raw dog for the steel targets. I have to paint one side of the targets anyways after each shooting, so I am already invested in spray cans of paint. I can paint the back once to rust-proof it, a few seconds worth of my time, and no issue with my paint supply since I need it anyway as a consumable.
So far I only shoot long range in non-winter seasons, so I am painting targets white, so I have to paint over your beautiful orange anyway.
I have not bought the target stand brackets for the 2x2 or 2x4 because I make tripods and crossbar stands out of poles from the forest. I think its nice that the stand brackets come painted because they are not intended to be shot at directly. However if I were to buy them I would be happy to spray paint them myself and save money on the purchase price and taxes.
