How do I get the finish to come back, paint?

What kinda paint? sand with 400-1000 grit sand paper, primer, sand, primer, sand, paint a few coats.

or just spreay the sinktube as is?

What kinda paint should I look for?

You're probably not going to get the chrome finish back. There's no paint that I know of that is going to put that finish back on. In my experience, even the "chrome" spray paints are really just silver. The only thing that looks chrome is chrome-plating, and you definitely don't want to go to that expense for a sinktube.
My advice: buy a new sink tube, or sand and polish the one you have to a shiny brassier finish.

and thats something I dont want to do, at 7$ a pice iam not gonna replace them. guess I might just want to try a silver or something.

i was looking at this site a while back and for some reasion i get a 404 error when I go to it but the person makes his sabers hardware style and he uses this silver (mylar?) film to get the "shiny chrome" look.

wish I could remember what it was.

Mylat tape is almost like contact paper. You can buy that at Michael's if you have one near you. If $7 is a problem though I don't see another $5 or so for a spray can or mylar tape as a solution for you.

I'd make it look like you did it on purpose. Weathering. :)
