I'd painted it before... but the paint didn't stick... so I'd end up sanding down the pipe leaving it looking like ****************.

Keyword: Looked. I did the finger test... running it on the underside of the tip... my finger emerging black. Quickly the gloss faded and is almost powdered. Where I run my finger... the paint comes with it. So... I'll go out today and remove the paint exposing the "brushed" stainless "look".

That said... next mod will be a chan-exhaust.
