I had a fresh air intake installed. Works great but the wife hates the way it looks. Although it is behind the stove, she can see it and the 4ish feet of silver insulated ducting makes her gag. Does anyone have any pics or links I can look at for inspiration on how to cover it or make it look nicer? Maybe put the duct in a rigid black metal pipe or something? Thanks.
 
Can you remake it in rigid dryer vent and paint it black??
