Bill and Leo hit the nail on the head. About Stainless rusting and spotting (its not shiny anyway unless you polish it) and also Leo by reusing some of his.
That is exactly what I did. I even put some stainless on the panel and then decided they just didn't look good so I went with painted.... and the good thing is we can touch them up easy and keep them looking good.
...and yes, the good stainless is not cheap. I had some stainless that would not even stick in one of the magnetic parts tray. Those I don't need!
