My rails were made of alloy (main body), and plastic (caps that cover the mounting screws), painted silver (original Oz fitting) or black (replacement rails pirated from a NZ model). You might want to get (or make up) new seals that stop water from getting into the body at the mounting points if you are taking the rails off.
If you want to see what it looks like before making any permanent changes you could paint the rails with some water soluble art paint and then just wash it off after you have looked at it (but I wouldn't leave it on too long).
