So Alan, do you leave them natural, or paint maybe a cast iron color paint. I'm thinking about using the Seymour Stainless paint. Our box is already showing rust. 
I never leave anything bare....I will paint it cast and even a satin clear on top of that. I use tinted clears as well. "smoke" clear looks good over cast iron, gives it a more natural look
...Lately if they come back from the re-builders black, I'll leave them black. I've installed two from
Firm Feel which also come black.
