Had this installed at the end of April and the black paint started chipping off by July. Its just a drain flange, nothing fancy. Occasionally gets a "deep clean" of some soapy water with a soft washcloth, but nothing ever rough or abrasive. Other finishes do the same, if its a finish other than stainless (anything required to be sprayed onto the stainless surface) it will likely chip off. Finishing process needs some work.
