Advice on Trim for my '72 SWB

So, I am trying to figure out what to do for the trim on my 72 SWB that I am going to repaint

I have a complete set of nice, straight OEM trim. It is nice, but definitely NOT nice enough to put back on a freshly-painted truck

So my choices are

#1) Have the trim polished

#2) Buy Reproduction trim (I can't afford to buy NOS)

I am leaning toward #1, polishing the OEM trim (because I am skeptical of the quality of the reproduction stuff ... and it's pretty expensive for a complete set of trim!! )

For those of you that have had the OEM stuff polished, how did you repaint it? Is it worth it? Did it look close to factory original?

OR, Am I going to have to just bite the bullet and buy the reproduction parts?

Thanks FOR THE ADVICE GUYS!!
