I bought a set of used B&B shorties from a board member I know they are stainless but they were looking pretty bad.
I sent them down for a trip to Missisippi and they came back looking like this.

...very nice...now you've got the benefits of stainless and ceramic metallic coating. They'll last forever! Wrap them in something during the installation to protect them.

I-Net is often down over here so difficult to keep up with Caro-Vette, M-Topia and Corvette Forum traffic...but...thanks for hitting my Yahoo (atho it's crashed again since I read your back-channel) to let me know you posted your latest (subtle) BLING here! Geeeze, by the time I get HOME (98 days and a sea bag drag), you're gonna have my ol' "Geezer-Mobile" lookin' purty dang shabby...!!!
What a great diff the coating made to the Shorties you bought...is it Jet-Hot coating? Whatever it is, they came out looooookin' goooood...! As you know, I have "a few mods" in mind for "Geezer-Mobile" when I get back.
Appologize for the jaw-jackin' to other members, but kinda go wild when I get a chance to get on the net.

It is Jet Hot, but calling you Vette a Geezer Mobile ain't accurate.
