Paint It Now

Paint it right now. Otherwise any bare metal will rust and your fine project won't look like a real thing. Painting something all one color does a miracle of making some cobble-together monstrosity look like a "unified design".

I used silver engine paint because I got some for free. It almost matches the original chrome color, so I don't need to be very careful.

Damn it looks good!
