I'd leave it like the bottom one....I really dislike the look of stuff that should be metal looking, but someone painted it silvery instead.My fabulous web page

That bottom one was a bench grinder polishing. I agree with you Jim, I have said it before, I hate painted trim too. The main thing driving this question is the polishing will never yield a better finish than this (at least not at my skill level) and lots of the trim pieces have scratches that won't come out as well as gouges that the paint fills over to give a more even look.
It's why I decided to try one of each and take a look at the end result. Keep the voting comingEscaped on a technicality.

Black painted trim is so early 80s....

I have a pathological hatred of polishing (maybe because the first 30 years of my life included stainless fab which, by definition, always gets polished?)
I don't like polish, it looks okay for a week then looks like junk because it oxidizes. Add to that, it takes 2 days longer than forever to polish it, and the best part, after about the 6th piece your mind will be wandering and the trim will get sucked out of your hand, the grinder will catch your shirt, suck you into the grinder, then there'll be little bits of highly polished but broken bits of Randal scattered across the room. Then you'll have to go to the hospital to get stitched back together, and you'll meet a cute nurse. The cute nurse will see your underwear, which will not be pristine because of the scattering of Randal. Don't show cute nurses your underwear, Randal, paint.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; August 22, 2012, 07:41 AM.Doing it all wrong since 1966
