My stainless never looked polished, even brand new. Looks purpose-built to
me. And it is worry and maintenance free.

     A  A I went thru the same thought process and agonized over painting
     my trim
     A  A black or leaving it polished. I have a very blue metallic and
     with the
     A  A wheel choice & color choice, the stainless trim would have
     overpowered
     A  A the paint. So, I painted my trim black. I would have left my
     trim
     A  A stainless for ease of upkeep, if it worked with my colors. It's
     hard to
     A  A get paint to stick; most end up powdercoating their trim to
     help it
     A  A stick. I repainted my trim twice (off the car) before I found a
     paint
     A  A and technique that would keep the paint from flaking off or
     easily
     A  A scratched. Even now, I know it's the most sensitive part of the
     car to
     A  A scratches.
     A  A I would say it entirely depends on the color of the car, the
     wheel
     A  A color, etc. There's nothing wrong with stainless steel trim.
     The
     A  A factory did both as we all know.
