Is there a easy way to paint PVC pipe?

Any hardware store carries BLACK PVC in many sizes. Check the plumbing section at your local super centers. I suggest using a plastic adhesion promoter (SEM makes a good one) before painting. You can also use Krylon Fusion paints for plastic, but that's a band-aid approach.

I'll check Lowes, but don't recall seeing it. HD had some black stuff. I don't know if it was pvc, but it seemed a little flimsy?

the black is drain pipe. pvc is thicker (schedule 40 or 80). just spray it. one 2 dollar can of paint and you're good.

get a flat container longer then the tube dump the paint into the bucket like an inch or more deep, put the tube in and roll it untill evenly coated inside and out!

I work at HD and I havnt seen any black PVC, I know they carry black ABS pipe. nothing different for the purpose you will need it for, plus they sell 2ft pieces of 3&4" black ABS in the PVC fitting aisle at our store. Its def way strong enough for a port its used as sewage/drain pipe normally.

I'll look at the ABS stuff before I try painting.

The same reason people want to paint a slot port black! The same reason real precision aeros are black!

why you wanna be like everyone else,

why you wanna be like everyone else,

If I was like everyone else I wouldn't have been one of the most popular people in first grade through college. If I was like everyone else I'd wouldn't have played football, track, and basketball. I don't recall everyone else riding on 26's either. What else you got?

every one else played football and basket ball.. and a lot of people ran track.. with and aero port you have to think only a certain amount needs to be black because light will only go so far back into the port after that the port will be black from shadow..

I don't know where you went to school, but a lot of people did not play. I few played and a lot of them got cut. If everyone played like you say, there would be no one in the stands to cheer. I competed against the same good people pretty much through every grade. All the others you're talking about didn't make the cut. Maybe you're referring to bench warmers that never got in the game? And thanks for the port advice.

What he's saying is that a lot of people play football or any sport other sport period. They dont exactly have to be on a team to play. For instance there are those who didnt make the cut or those who didnt even try. Either way you seem like a cocky dick who cant even figure out how to paint a piece of pipe. Just my 2 cent.

I don't seem cocky, you just can't handle the truth. It's not my fault lames get bored and refuse to stick to the topic. You run your mouth and I'm going to respond. Someone has to check you because your parents didn't, I guess? I'm a nice humble guy that loves car audio. Why don't you go and wine to everyone else on here that has a question about something they need help with? I appreciated all the help and the thread pretty much ended until someone jumped off topic talking about being like everyone else. I can figure out how to paint a port Dummy. I was just seeing what other methods people were using that made it easier. I guess if I said I'm a Mixed Martial Artist, you'd be saying everyone does that too?

let me borrow your letterman jacket brah, and if you got money and are riding on 26's then why dont you just buy aeroports, instead of cheaping out on PVC. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
