How does one go about repairing this gouge in my CPI pipe,

[jon321]

MOVED IT OVER TO REPAIRS AND MODS, WRONG SECTION HERE

There's only 1 right way to do it. Needs a TIG filler then sanded smooth and rechromed. No dent though so you were lucky in that aspect.

you can silver solder it (metal must be perfectly clean first) then it would need to be filed smooth (carefully, not to scratch the chrome) and polish sanded/buffed......it will all but dissapear, and not be noticable to anyone not looking for it (done right)
