It's been so long I can't remember....is our roof rack rails painted or is it just *cleared*.

About 3 years, it came back from the bodyshop....they do their typical powerwash, etc. Interior was wiped clean, etc. BUT, the rails seemed to have lost their topcoat....it's as if it went from a finish to *dull metal* overnight.

I never got around to dealing with it....but it's on my spring to do list..
