Painting PVC with purple primer

[doughpat]

AKA Positively Plastered with Plural P's

I'm trying to disguise the two Durso standpipes in my clear (oops...) overflow box. I was thinking about painting the entire standpipes with PVC primer...its inert when cured, right? Maybe I should also coat them with cement? Any other ideas? Bright white PVC pipe really takes from the display....

Thanks for any ideas--

Won't the PVC be covered with coralline algae after a few months anyway?

Yes...but the people (patients) I'm installing it for don't know that. I know i'm just shortcutting, but initial presentation is important here.

They'll still stick out in purple.

Use grey piping for the standpipes.

yup either find some schedule 80 pipe (it's grey) or a can of Krylon fusion paint.

Is Krylon fusion is actually safe for use underwater?
