Textured chrome tape and Gold Tube?

[Marsupial]

they do sell 1.5 and 1.25 pipes without chrome at my local home depot...

Are they copper or brass? I've seen copper tubes at Home Depot, but I haven't had luck finding brass tubes without chrome. And are they already smooth, or do they need further polishing?

Since I've already begun, I may as well finish this tube. Won't get a hcance to work on it til the weekend though =\

I'd say brass...


I have copper pipes and they aren't the same.

they come pretty dull, but that's because its oxydized. You could reshine it with no problem, and then add some clear coat for a nice finish, or leave nature make a nice weathered effect.

its really the same piece as the chromed one, without the chrome.

I found a 6 inch extension that was all brass, not chromed, at my local hardware store. I cut a two inch piece off from it, polished it a bit, and put it on my "belt-hanger" saber.

So, what would be the best thing to coat a brass tube with? Would rustoleum clear coat work?
