chrome paint

in my search of a makeshift pipe to smoke out of, i found a tire pressure gauge like the one below, well i made it work, its stealthy, comes apart, a pretty decent one hitter, but after a few smokes, i saw a small chip on it(from dropping it maybe, not from the heat).i saw that the round "bowl" part was actually painted, and underneath was plastic or something..so my question is, should i just keep using it, or stop and find a better method of smoking.(pipes are too much of a risk in my apartment.)

Why not just buy a pipe?

this was today..and there are no shops around here, i woke up about 2 hours ago and was looking at it, when i saw it..ill probably take your advice as soon as i get some cash

my buddy made a pipe out of a metal one of those, it did the job, just buy a pipe though
