You can buy chromed copper pipe as standard for this purpose,
It's used as the main finishing water feed pipe in bathrooms

Not for this purpose - it would be impossible to bend it without
the chrome flaking off.

Yes it may cause the finish to flake off on severe curves etc.

However you can paint copper piping quite successfully with almost any
household paint, You'll obviously need to key it first though.
