How well will this work to paint PVC piping. Also, will i need to use sand paper on the PVC before painting?

I have used it on PVC piping. I applied it this spring, and it still looks newly painted. As per instructions, I did **not** sand prior to application. So far, I am a happy customer. If I have seen any downside, it does not clean off readily with paint thinner.

I have used this paint on PVC pipes which are exposed to Florida weather extremes. I would have no hesitation using it on vinyl shutters. Note that the paint becomes more durable and scratch-resistant with time.

I use the Epson Stylus R280 with my PVC cards, and I have been thoroughly satisfied with the results. The only thing you will have to figure out is how to set the dimensions of your image to print properly when using the tray. After a few failures I came up with a good template. You'll figure out how to work within the limitations.

I would say from my experience that you would make a tremendous mess, I would recommend putting visqueen plastic underneath if you are splattering paint on the canvas for your art project and want to protect the floor underneath. This is a light duty cloth and a whole bucket of paint (quart or gallon) would likely be a disaster. If the canvas is not necessary to your art project I would forego it and just use visqueen, but watch out because it will be slippery after it has paint on it.

It is made from PVC material, but it has a very smooth surface. So yes, I would think you could paint it but be deliberate about it. If it were me, I would use an oil based primer and a high quality outdoor paint. Benjamin Moore has a waterborne alkyd paint called "Advance" that I think would be good, if they can provide it in a color you like. Anyway, when I say good quality paint I'm not talking about stuff you can buy at Home Depot. All this might be overkill, but I think it is worth being deliberate on surfaces like this outdoors.

I've only used it on metal and plastic. I did not sand... I did clean the surfaces quite well though... ;-) This paint has a metal fleck appearance though is more flat than glossy and not as reflective as one might think. It's a very cool looking paint.

It's kind of like pvc material so I think you can paint but I would definitely consult with the paint shop first to find out about prep and all

I don't think so.It dries to a hard, nonflexible plastic form.If the hose expands and contracts, or flexes, it will probably crack off.I've tried it on several types of hard plastic with mixed results.It does not work well on PVC tubing, but it mentions that it will not work on PVC in the instructions.

The sand paper will clean the glaze on the tub and roughen it up for the paint to adhere , the sanding will take a little time to do for best results. Good luck.

It should take off enough clearcoat and paint to be able to lightly sand in preparation for paint. This is strong stuff and should only be used with the proper PPE.

I went to Lowes and got 3_10ft pvc pipes, and using my 9x22 backdrop canvas and have no issues. I'm thinking my pvc is heaver than your paper?

Yes, but it is not the best option. I have painted large areas because I had no other option and it worked O.K. I have 8-9 of these and they are best for craft projects, say a wagon, small table, or wall sign. The paint needs to be strained and clean or it will stop up the siphon tip.

Not recommended to use over paint. Dry's clear but its compound would cause paint to streak. Sand pre painted areas before applying.

This stuff is GOOD stuff. Smells like heck though while working with it. Smell fades in short time. I used it on an ABS plastic bathtub with light fiberglass cloth and the tub is darn near as good as new now. No leaks and a strong bond IMO. I prepped the surface with methle ethel keytone witch is similar to acetone. Also scarred up the surface a bit. I would think it would work on PVC as well if not actually better than ABS like I used it for as said. You could use Acetone to prep on PVC. That's all pipe cleaner is.

It would project it THROUGH the window unless you put some paper on the opposite side to the one you are painting. But that's a fairly easy fix, I'd think. Another alternative that I personally would find to be awesome is to get the glass sandblasted. The frosted glass would take the outline projection perfectly, and you could use that as an element in your work by leaving some of the frosted portions unpainted. It would also make it much less likely that the paint would peel later. I could understand why that wouldn't be practical for a lot of the projects you might try but sounds kinda cool right? Edit: I see Pam there beat me to the paper idea. So I'll see you paper and raise you 3020 Liquid Masking Film 32 oz here on Amazon. Paint it on the opposite side, project, trace... and then when you don't need it anymore, peel it off like cling film.

I used a primer first just becase I was priming the rest of the room. I don't see any problem with just painting over it. It is vinyl and heavy enough paper to not have any problems.

I used this on a steel boat tank. My tank needed a repaint so I did not need to be careful. It did not seem to peel paint that it got on. I would not want to get it on good paint though, as it is very tenacious and not easily removed. I do not know how it would effect a plastic or fiberglass tank. It can be painted once dry and seems to be holding up well. Mike
