If you have any color 510 and really want stainless, take off the paint. There is a stainless steel tube under that paint on both the battery and the atomizer.

How're you doin' that? I'm a tad leary of any chemical stripper. OTOH, I have a lot of sandpaper. (I have access to all manner of stripping chemicals, too.)

Tape off one end, put the taped part into an electric drill and tighten it down. Use a small grain sand paper to remove the paint from the exposed end with the drill running. Then reverse the process with the opposite end to remove the paint from the other side. You can use a fine grade or polishing sand paper to shine up the finish. There is a video floating around somewhere but I have no idea where I saw it.

Thanks for that I may have to try this out.
