PVC Spray paint

[colinm822]

I'm looking to spray paint my PVC Black, any recommendations on brand? I don't want it to chip and fall into the sump, and possibly leech contaminant. I've seen one brand called Krylon Fusion for Plastic, has anyone used this ?

Thanks

I used this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Dye-for-PVC-STAIN-1-oz-concentrate-lqd-/260720985413?

and heres a little writeup about it: http://makezine.com/projects/make-30/stain-pvc-any-color-you-like/


or you could just buy black pvc pipes: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/black-schedule-40-pipe-5-ft.html

I've used krylon fusion and really like it. I've had it on pvc underwater for about 4 months and it hasn't flaked off yet.

Have you used it before?

it's made for car interiors... like hard plastics, vinyl and fabric... it's bomb stuff... i've used it on steering wheels and other plastics that i have to handle a lot... i'm thinking about using it to paint some of my pistols... but i think i'll just cerakote it instead...

I'd use plastidip. Its rubbery. and can peel off if needed. Don't have to worry Bout it cracking and falling into your sump. Ever since I discovered plasti dip. I spray that sh!t on everything.

I would just buy it from homedepot. Order it online and free shipping to store vs bulkreefsupply. they also sell black pvc fittings.

Krylon Fusion above and in the water. Used it on both fresh and salt water tanks. It can scratch, does not bond to glass well for use under water though. Havent tried plastidip...

it will look nice black, but I've done that before and overtime it will scratch. I hated it after a while.
