KelvinNg 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 My wash basin and the supporting base panel is transparent glass type and thus the white pvc bottle trap and pipes below are visible from the top when washing. Comtemplating on changing to all chrome. Will chrome grow algea and rust over time? My ID qoute 230 for chaning the bottle traps and whole connecting pipes to chrome for 2 toilet wash basins. Is it reasonable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe thats not quite a good idea as the spray paint would easily come off over pvc surface. This is esp so in wet areas in toilets. Else, you may like to rough the surface for better paint grip using sandpaper puiror to the spraying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
