You might be better off posting the question on Restowagen, the most people with the most knowledge on roofracks and accessories are all on there all the time. Personally I would always go for an original old painted roofrack, genuine old accessories are so much more interesting than new ones made in china, but if you want shiny I agree you cant beat stainless. Even I love stainless bumper blades. :D

I prefer the painted finish myself too, just remember that even when you buy a vintage repro rack you are probably best burgeting to have it powdercoated and revarnished for longer lasting appearance etc. Alex.
