Evidently the metal cone part is painted because it doesn't ohm out at all. Is there some paint scratched off the cone where this wire ring is mounted? I am going to eventually remove crt because it is not positioned 100% correctly and some debris has fallen on the face of the tube. I would like to know how all this works. Thanks.

The outer rim is where it makes contact with the solder loop terminal. It appears your CRT has a clear plastic insulator over the rear of the bell. Most are painted but don't assume that alone will insulate you from coming in contact with high voltage.
