Hi!

I scored a complete set of the trim at the wrecking yard last year. It was in rough shape with the finish flaking off. As near as I can tell it was unstained, but with a clear coating of some type that was flaking off.

I refinished the trim by carefully removing the chrome bits, and carefully hand sanding with successively finer grades of sand-paper (coated abrasives for you purists), starting with 600 and moving up to 2000. Once I had it smooth, I rubbed on a clear Danish Oil finish (Watco brand) and wet-sanded with the 2000-grit again. I'll see if I can snap a picture later.

Hope this helps!
