General Question: piping - get it hi-polished, chromed or powdercoated?
I am looking into re-furbishing some piping for my new project and would like advise on which finish to go with. Ultimate goal: to get a finish that not only gives enginebay bling BUT hold up very well to the elements. Which finish delivers the BEST happy medium with respect to these 2 requirements?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Best is to get it chromed. It's the toughest out of all of those options and will also yield the highest luster finish out of all those choices. It does not corrode over time like polished piping and it just takes a simple wipe down with a wet rag to bring back the mirror shine. Only downside is the cost, it will be the most expensive option by far.
