Hello kb11 and thank you for the feedback you posted on the Home Depot website. We are sorry to hear that the Gibson 8 in. Widespread 2-Handle High-Arc Bathroom Faucet Trim Kit in Matte Black did not meet your expectations. Since the drain is exposed to various chemicals from soaps and other products, the finish may start to peel or discolor over time. As the original purchaser of the T6142BL, you can contact Moen directly under the product lifetime limited warranty. Our product specialists would be happy to troubleshoot the issue and work with you to find a satisfactory warranty resolution. Please contact us at 1-800-289-6636; we are currently available Monday through Friday from 8:00 am - 7:00 pm (EST).
