Default Bare metal window trim?

I have done extensive searching but came up short on any pictures of the side window trim of an SC stripped of its factory black paint. As we all know, underneath is polished stainless steel (half of which is already exposed). Many people have just painted the existing trim to solid black, I'm curious to see what the other half of the trim paint removed looks like. I have NO interesting in the b-pillar being bare metal though.

Perhaps anyone who removed the trim and used aircraft remover prior to painting it black took a picture before they sprayed?

Thanks for the pic Davidddd! Wish you had another angle.
Although I'm not a fan of the shiny b-pillar, I'm curious to see the rest of the exposed trim in better light, and closer up.

Thanks Teal! I appreciate the referencing, but that's NOT quite what I'm asking to see... The b-pillar, is NOT what I'm interested in.

The SC's trim around the window is a solid wide piece of stainless steel just like the b-pillar but painted only half way. The rest is the exposed metal which is what you see as the factory 'chrome' trim.

What I'm trying to see is if someone has removed the excess paint from the trim revealing the rest of the polished trim underneath. It will then be much wider and prominent around the glass.

Why would you want to see how that looks? Unless you love chrome it would look horrible exposed like that. Less chrome the better imo

It's actually plastic, you can snap it right off, just like the trim around the windshield.
