Not a hint of bubbling This amazes me, painted the new Dansk pipes with their silver stuff (higher temp rated so I got it instead) and it really has not done that well for me, though I did not have time to sandblast the pipes at the time which surely would help the adhesion. It seems durable enough just on mine flakes off. But these were smooth pipes which I had just only wiped the primer off. On the one already rusty pipe I left on the system, adhesion has been better as it had more "bite" I feel if I took em off and grit blasted them then repainted results might be quite good. Still clinging here and there and the ex-smooth pipes but lasted less than 2 months essentially. John vwbus@netbiz.net
