Cheap Plastic Refrigerator Vents on CCDs

[rseagle]

I was wondering if anyone owning a CCD 16' or 22' or 75th Anniversary 19' with the cheap plastic refrigerator vents (painted silver) replaced them with an aluminum type? Mine continue to peel paint and look like crap. It would be nice to retrofit them with something more visually pleasing and easier to maintain. Any suggestions from the above listed owners?

I have the same and wondered about the quality. Mine was garage parked (a very nice climate controlled space) and shows no sign of wear - but now I store it outside (for now) and am concerned about the details. I am interested in replacements from the factory or aftermarket too.

Thanks, Mike
