If a original part not has good to perfect paint, i usully restore it by clean and repaint it.. ONLY if i can get the correct shade of the color again.. if not i would leave it as is. Also depending on the cars condition, and how important the finish is.

About your shaker parts, i would leave the orange lid as is and maby the baseplate also, or repaint in 80% gloss.
