Source for Refinishing Stainless Door Sills

[Ntrepid]

I have a set of W124 OEM door sills (the ones with Mercedes Benz in all caps) but they are in need of refinishing. Is there a shop people know of where I could send them?

There are some YouTube videos out there on how-to refinish stainless steel. However, I have had great results from this:

I can highly recommend Duraglit: https://www.google.no/search?client...19j0i30i19.vDPLOrdzX2c=#imgrc=bRukyMZGd_t5bM:

Mine have some dings too which need to be taken out. I thought someone who does PDR would be a source. Unfortunately that was not the case.

Correcting dings on tiny SS sheet metal is challenging, and it depends on the size & shape, and where they are on the sill plate. As soon as you start hammering it introduces stress and the plate will start twisting. The ideal way is to stretch the whole plate by rolling, which is complicated due to the shape of the sill plate. So be careful, it may end up worse.

How do the stainless plates look? Tasteful or blingy?

I think tasteful given they are primarily brushed steel. They would be blingy if they were polished
