Spraypaint safe for inside the tank

Post by ingg »

Need to paint some pipes black, what paint should I be using?

Krylon has a new one out for plastic, was looking at that...

Any advice on what I can or can't use?

I used some paint that was for plastic - Krylon does sound familiar.

You can buy black PVC.

Do tell where. I've searched for it and have only found it in the flexible stuff.

Don't forget that Savko also has the clear PVC that might work even better. :)

Against a black background the black pipe is the best bet, the clear doesn't stay clear and shows up eventually.
