How to Paint PVC Pipe
Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How to Paint PVC Pipe and hope the blog can help you.
PVC piping can be used for all sorts of DIY projects, but who says you have to keep the pipes white? When you learn how to paint PVC pipe, your design options multiply.
Tough and durable yet easy to cut, polyvinyl chloride piping (PVC), originally developed for plumbing, is ideal for use in a variety of do-it-yourself projects, from wall-mounted organizers and funky herb planters to wine racks and even lighting fixtures.
While the piping comes in a spectrum of brights these days, you’ll still want to learn how to paint PVC if you’ve got a more sophisticated palette in mind. Except there’s one hitch: Due to a molecular makeup that prevents most liquids from bonding to its surface, paint on PVC has always been likely to flake, bubble, or rub right off.
Fortunately, recently developed spray paints that chemically bond with all kinds of plastics make it possible for determined DIYers to paint PVC pipe. Just keep in mind that while some plastic-rated paints purport not to require special preparation, we advise that you follow the prep steps here for the best possible results.
