It's cheaper to paint the pan with the drain plug already installed than it is to mask it, paint it, remove masking, install drain plug.

I can see where some plugs might have more paint buildup than others. Just the luck of the draw. I think I went at mine with some acetone and a rag. Don't remember exactly.

Yes, both sides of the gasket deform. Orientation doesn't matter. Be careful not to overtorque.
