Thanks for the reply. However, Blake has shown me that I made an error in
that the trim rings are likely stainless steel. That would be logical since
Moss sells these trim rings new for about $15 each. If they were chrome,
they would be considerably more. But I may try a clear lacquer on my old
ones after cleaning them up and see how that works.
