I don't know, but what about painting white PVC with 'Fusion' spray paint

 

[duke62]

this pvc would be easy if it can be used

Yes its just UV protected
Beleive it or not regular pvc is not supposed to be exposed to the sun even though you see it all the time.

What are you using it for, drain or return? The difference between conduit and regular pvc is that conduit is not tested and approved for pressure. There is definitely a chance of leaks when using it. If you were only using it on a drain (non-pressurized) you may be able to get away with it, but I personally wouldn't attempt it. If you really want grey fittings and pipe you can use either SCH 80 pipe or krylon fusion.

Didn't someone say they had that PVC piece at nerac from a broken one?
