Paint Vent pipe?

Tjbaudio · Jan 4, 2006

In the laundry room we want to go with a more rustic look so we are planing on leaving the celling open. We have vent pipes running there (Cell core PVC) I would like to paint it to cover up the cement and make the pipe match the celling. I have painted PVC in theater work but is this OK for an actual vent line? Will I weaken the pipe with the new Krylon for plastic?

Normaly paint sticks like glue but if you want to be sure there is no grease from cooking or anything else buy a small can of PVC cleaner, pour some on a rag and wipe the pipe down then let it dry an hour or 2 then paint to your hearts content.

Toolaholic, you said "all interior dwv will be painted with 2 latex paint colors !"
how do you paint the inside of the pipe???

"Interior DWV" is not the same as "Interior of DWV". If you paint your house interior, does that mean you paint in the wall cavity?

It's a joke............a play on words...........smile

The inspector will probably insist that you paint it purple.

maybe I should add arrows like in commercial buildings so the air and water know what way to go.
