They also make tapes and sleeves if you don't want to paint.

My basic premise is that if the arms value is under $500 and will not increase, paint away.

BTW, commonly used paints can be removed. Downside is that the removal process may also remove the original stock finish.

Acids WILL remove bluing as I have recently re-learned. Place expletive here.
