Teak Spray Rails

[brice]

I have spent the past hour searching all of the forums on this so if I missed this topic being posted already, I apologize in advance.

I have a 1972 20' SeaCraft and I am in the home stretch of my restoration project. Question - what do I do with the Teak Spray Rails? Do I sand and put Teak oil on them or can I paint them the same color as the boot stripe (Black). A friend of mine said I couldn't paint them because the paint would never stay on.

Thoughts?
