mark.low 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
