I finally picked up the adjustable DVL stove pipe i've been needing, It took me a week to get it and only 5 seconds to ruin the paint finish. I slid the two sections together without even considering that the female end may have dings in it. Long story short my shiny new pipe has 5 roughly foot long vertical scratches and i'm pissed, you would think at the price of this stuff that simpson would put some sort of cap on the ends to prevent this from happening.
Should I touch it up with stove paint? Or will that make it look worse?
