    I personally have never done this, but understand that brass is softer than the steel the ball is made out of, every time the ball contacts the brass on the ramp it is going to wear it away ever so slightly.

    Habitrails are usually polished or chromed steel, being very near the hardness of the ball. I have no doubt brass plated ramps would look sharp, but at the high impact areas, and the track the ball rides on, it will eventually wear back down to the steel ramp/habitrail.
