The Mfgr is TACO Metals of Miami.
They only sell to dealers and, seemingly, only in pretty large volume.
Your 22 came w/4 pieces about 14' long each.
One of the problems, TACO won't sell pieces that long unless you order over 500 pieces at once.
So, you can get shorter pieces from West Marine and end up w/a lot more joints, or, your existing piecess can be refinished by powdercoating them.
I've done a couple of boats and others have also.

You can get the longer 12' or 14' sticks of Taco rubrail from online sellers, but the shipping can be expensive. I ordered from Coast Marine and they delivered to my local West Marine at no extra charge since they bring in trucks anyway. You don't have to settle on the 6' sticks. Bill
