Does anyone know a good way to paint a length of brass pipe? It is what I used for wadding gear on my T-80 wader for the amphibs campaign. I know brass is generally difficult to paint but can anyone recommend a certain primer or method to use before I lay down the actual color. Thanks in advance.

Can you replace the part with a piece of brass tubing? Nothing resembles brass as brass itself.

What I found is that if you sand your piping, clean it, and paint it with an enamel paint.

yeah scuff it with like a 220 grit or finer sandpaper.... and paint.... the cleaner it it the better
