I used some "anodized red" and blue paint that can be found at most auto parts stores, also I wet sanded with 1500grit and then put a few coats of clear coat on.

I'm hoping the clear coat is strong enough to protect the paint, if not I need to put more on in better weather conditions (painting was done outside, at near freezing point, I plan to repaint the pipes this summer)

Oh, also if your going to paint pipes, hit them with break cleaner, sand them, then wash them in break cleaner again, and primer them, or the paint will not stick for ****.
