With some of these old saws you could very well be destroying value too, but truthfully it isn't that many that have large value to them. That's beside the point though. Save tool painting for junk newer saws (ie not pre-WW2) as those old tools are built better than most stuff today, and anything that can be refurbished for use by someone into that sort of thing, pass them along!
I agree with you in preserving them and not painting on them.Ihave one here that my brother had sand blasted and painted in an industrial pipe shop one time, screwed it up i thought.
