Priming firewall parts

I am at the stage of putting the firewall together. Most of the posts that I have read suggests leaving the stainless steel alone. But what about the aluminum parts. Should the at least the face touching the firewall be primed?
 
Firewall

Last time I asked the consensus was no primer or paint on anything on the firewall. In the event of a fire, it would all get equally hot and make noxious gasses.
That said, I've seen lots of them primed and even painted.

Unlike some previous kits, the -14 firewall braces are Alclad. Therefore, if you choose not to prime them for fire protection, they will still have corrosion protection from the Alclad.
