If was me, I would polish it.. Your tins will be painted and I think that would be to much paint.. Just my 2 cents worth..

I'd say paint, but I know how much polishing is involved.

Polish. paint always looks nice when first done but then turns to shit and is hard to get off. Corrosion always pops up from under the paint.

Polish. Mothers metal polish is the least work that I've used.
