Ferritic stainless steel is magnetic

All stainless steel is ferritic, but martensitic stainless is magnetic while austenitic is not.

Yes it looks better now. Flash is dead so I can't post a photo, but it looks like a stainless steel downpipe does after a few miles.

No need for ceramic coating; it's stainless.
