Black 1' PVC pipe?

[ookutoo]

Hey guy does any one have or know where I can find black 1" pvc pipes and connectors? I'm sick of seeing my white pvc in my all black tank. Did searches and couldn't find any. HomeDepot Didn't have it. Any help would be grateful. Thanks

Why don't you just spray paint it black? Home depot sells this super cheap matte black spray can for 97 cents, boom! I've used it on various intakes/outputs, nothing died yet.

There's a place up by me in Warwick NY. You can also use krylon fusion spray paint.

You can also use krylon fusion spray paint.

+1. Krylon fusion is designed to bond to plastic better than regular spray paint. Just sand the pvc a bit with sand paper and apply. At only about $4 a can, its easy to do and works great.

You can use abs pvc which is black but probably twice the cost of reg pvc

+1 on the krylon fusion

Thanks for all the answers guys. Just don't know how safe it is to spray paint the pipe and have it in the tank. If I spray how long do I let it dry before Putting in the tank.

If its summer time (NJ), I would say 1 week is more than adequate. A lot of fish keepers have used Krylon Fusion with no known ill effects to any fish for quite some time. The less paint or thickness of the coating, the quicker it will dry. Also, for all we know, pvc could be leaching toxins into the water that we have no idea about, so what's the difference?

I spray paint clay pots and pvc black with krylon fusion and I put the stuff in the next day, never had an issue. The only problem with one coat is chipping. There are directions for two coats and cure time on the can for chip resistance. I have done it both ways but I'm impatient.

These guys have black PVC and fittings http://www.savko.com/

I made custom spray bars with 3/4" black and love how they turned out.
