OEM 19's - Painted or Polished?

Does anyone know if the oem 19's are painted or polished? I'm leaning painted but I can't find the color info anywhere. I'm going to restore painted 19's back to factory.

Thanks for the help

Painted. And it's a two step process. I'd be surprised if you could replicate the oem finish DIY.

Thanks Jeff. I was also thinking of polishing them and calling it a day, I just don't want to much of shine. Could you explain the process in a little more detail?

it's some black base coat with a gray metallic topcoat + I think clear. I imagine polishing would cost a ton.
