And something I discovered recently while attempting to restore mine .... Did you know that the painted ones (the ones with the rubberised texture, commonly found in FE interiors, often finished in 'platin hell' or 'swing') actually have a wood finish beneath the paint?
It's like the painted version was an afterthought, something they thought would make the interior look more modern perhaps, so they took existing wood trim from stock and just painted over them.
