painting pvc

[pucknut]

can the white pvc, which i use as a hiding spot, (cave) be painted.........and if so, does it come in a spray can?

Personally I wouldn't, however, you can glue things to the PVC with a hot glue gun or pure silicone..

ya i dont know what types of paint can be even used in aquariums

I suspect that you could probably get away with painting it using some type of enamel (definitely no latex-based paints though), although I wouldn't recommend it as it is hard to tell what sort of things may end up leaching from the paint and into your water. A little research into what sort of paints are used on aquarium decorations would probably tell you what type of paint to use. A good question

It is an old post and the images are gone but you can get the idea from the text.

Krylon Fusion, evidently the chemical reaction remains inert. My friends use it to paint the plumbing and false backs of their custom nano-reefs. If corals in a 6 Gallon tank are ok with it... I'm sure it's ok.

i personaly wouldn't use paint unless its from a fish store thats says on it "aquarium safe". U gotta watch what u put in the tank
