Carrying things in and out of doors, furniture bumping up against baseboards, etc......life happens, paint is chipped pretty easily no matter how well it is applied.
The best heating system I have ever seen in a house is Cast Iron Baseboard hot water with a gas fired boiler. This was in a home built by a custom builder as his own home. He also had a high efficiency central A/C system with all the ducts in the ceiling.
Probably the best combination of heating and cooling you can find but extremely expensive.
Baseboard heating was sleek and modern versus old radiators. To me is screams of no central air and as such, not a home I would be buying even "up north".
I have a natural gas boiler with baseboard radiators in MN. LOVE the heat compared to forced air. AND I also have central air conditioning via a high velocity a/c system. Best of both worlds.
There are newer, much nicer looking, replacement baseboard covers available.
I am going to start replacing all my ugly old ones.
Get them painted professionally.
Maybe a body shop can do a nice flame job on one.
