These pieces are made of aluminum. I have seen cars with these left unpainted, and then there's my car (and I'm sure others) who have coated them black; either with paint, powdercoat, or anodizing. I really prefer the black look because it helps to blend with the door seals, but if you prefer silver, I would probably get SOME kind of coating applied to the metal because it will begin to show oxidation/stains after a period of time. Just look at the "uncoated" parts of your aluminum engine. Matt #1604 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Jeff Phillips <rvparty@xxxx> wrote: > What type of metal are these made of?
