How to Paint PVC Projects
Painting your PVC furniture and other PVC projects will give them a distinct, eye-catching look. It’s easy to do when you follow these tips.
First, thoroughly clean the pipe. Oil and other contaminants that can prevent paint from adhering properly must be removed. What’s more, if you don’t remove the manufacturer’s markings and any other smudges, they’ll likely show through the paint.
Light sanding with a medium/fine grit sanding pad will clean the pipe. It will also scuff it a bit, which will help the paint adhere. After sanding, wipe off the dust. Another method is to scrub the entire pipe with acetone.
But, if you don’t want take the time to remove the manufacturer’s markings, they can be covered by spraying with a primer/sealer prior to painting. The problem is, it’s an extra step that adds to the time and money spent on your project. I prefer spending a few minutes cleaning the pipe.

Nothing Like Automotive Paints To Catch People
Do you recall when you where out looking for your first car? And do you remember what determined which car you finally decided to buy? The price, of course, is important. But the paint job I am sure either impressed you or it didn’t. Nothing like automotive paints that are sprayed on a car by a professional.
Some people don’t even realize that automotive paints have an enormous effect on people out looking for wheels, and eventually which car they pick. I have heard people talk about red Ferrari’s and black Cadillac’s. And those Mercedes have silver or gold paint jobs. It’s the same with automotive paints on a number of other cars as well.
Back in time automotive paints where limited to a very narrow specter of colors. You could get a car that had either black or white paint. The narrow choice of automotive paints was due to the production cost of cars in that time. But people got colors on there mind shortly after, and car manufacturers got the message and started producing cars in a much wider range of automotive paints. All sorts of colors got available for you new car.
