Hi,

I have installed new copper pipes between the basement ceiling joists. I
do not intend to drop a ceiling and cover up the joists.

Is there a good way of preventing the shiny copper pipes from fading?
How about spraying them with exterior poly? Would that hold up to the
heat of the hot pipes?

Thanks,

Aaron

Silverware polish works great on the pipes, then a
clear coat finish meant for metal. An automobile
paint supplier should have a suitable product.
