I retrofitted a steel and aluminum can onto a stainless pipe and polished it with a worn out flap wheel. It got pretty glossy and has stayed rust free from for over year. I'm sure it'll rust at some point, but it's much better than I would've thought. Curious if you can get similar results to make it worth not forking out for chrome.Tune-A-Fish© said:Pipe worm. Should I leave the ratty welds or bud em off? It's gonna rust if I don't get it chromed but it's in place and hung
