Polished Trim
I had a couple of upper and lower trim pieces stripped and polished.
What do you think?? I think I need to paint them back original, it's just tempting to leave them all bright. Has anyone ever seen a truck with all polished trim (no paint) I will attach pics tonight. (If I can figure it out)

What do you think... Paint it, or leave it polished?

I like it polished. Something different.

The guy just did a couple of pieces, for free, so I could see the work.
All I wanted him to do was strip the anodised coating off, so I could polish the pieces myself. When I got them back they were polished...couldn't really complain. I don't have all the trim done yet.

Go for it...you can always paint it black later if you decide you don't like it. Experiment and dare to be different!

Looks really nice, man that guy or girl does NICE work!!! If you have some custom dodads on your truck I think I'd leave it polished, like stllookn said you can always pull it and paint it later, later Doug
