Gas company just replaced all their pipe in our neighborhood this year. The
installers painted the pipes at the outdoor meter with utility gray Krylon
spray. They left a carton of six cans behind in my yard. Need some?

After all the advice, I got some RustOLeum Rusty Metal Primer and
primed the pipe. I'll paint it with some nice paint next weekend.
Thanks for the offer, though.
