I've got a Kimber Rimfire Target .22. It has what appears to be an "aluminum" finish, I can't tell if it is painted, polished, etc. A chip or finish issue wouldn't surprise me, however mine is in great condition with minimal wear. I bought it used from a LGS that had used it as a range gun supposedly. I bought it for $300 out the door but it was essentially nearly new with box and everything. That was about 2-3 years ago. Mine has failures to feed sometime, however that is typically either the ammo (likes some standard velocity but prefers the faster stuff) or my thumb resting on the safety sometimes rubs the slide just a little but it is enough to offset the timing of the feed. It's a great 1911 .22 overall, not a Target or match quality but fun and plenty accurate.
