Use copper pipe and get it powder coated in whatever colour takes your fancy

Chromed copper?

They sell it in B&Q and the merchants etc for piping up Towel Rails etc where its on show.

I think you can get it for posh urinal installations in stainless as well as chromed copper.

Yeh thats defintely different stuff, it looks very thick and heavy.. like its anti-vandal stuff to stop people bending/dinting/pulling it apart and flooding the place lol

Yup...I used it to run the loom through the engine bay to the headlights, fan etc...

I've found the chromed copper tends to crack the plating when bends approach 6oish degrees.

Get Stainless from BES here

It won't be polished but that shouldn't be a problem

Cheers
