Hi all,

Would like to check if it is possible to actually paint over the stainless steel water pipes we have at home? Anybody have any advice or experience on that?

Yup, think you have to use a primer for the first coat, before you paint with the colour paint.

Thanks! But will it be feasible to paint them? Will the paint peel off easily? Especially if the pipes i intend to paint are in the toilets.

Yup, its like a must. Go buy a solvent base primer as it locks out moisture and fungus.

Primer are used like an adhesive between the object and the paint. If you did not use a primer and just paint the color directly on to the object, it will not last and the color coat may be easily peeled off.

Very likely you will regret.

Unless powdercoating, normal painting won't stick well on stainless steel surface.
