I have used this for a number of projects.  Works great and I have never had a problem with it.  When I was building tanks for the Living Planet Aquarium (many years ago) we also used it to color the fake rocks that we used in some of their aquariums.  From what I have been told most public aquariums use it also.

I had not thought of that. It would blend in nicely with the Coraline as well, if the Coraline were growing well.  It's a great idea.

I just got back from lunch-break and was able to find the fusion paint at our local friendly K-mart. If I didn't already have the paint in hand I would seriously consider the primer.
 
Thanks for the tip.

I painted my pipe with pvc purple primer.  Worked great, blends in well and no problems.  I have heard of lots of people doing this.]]> Mon, 28 Aug 2006 14:16:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13792&PID=124976&title=local-grey-black-pvc-fittings-source#124976 <![CDATA[Local grey/black pvc fittings source : Beck4x4.

Beck4x4.
Thanks for your response!
Coraline is advancing rather slowly in my tank.   My tank has been up for seven months with only traces of coraline to be seen.  That's probably a subject for a different thread.
 
So anyway, I don't want to wait for the coraline ot grow.  I looked in home depot and Lowes over the weekend. Neither of them had the paint. Where did you find yours?

I painted some pvc with the krylon, it has worked fine, no problems really bonded well with the plastic. coraline attaches well to it, depends on if you want white pipe until the coraline or (pick color)until the coraline

I saw some stuff on RC about using krylon fusion paint.
Supposedly it is harmless once it has cured, but wow, does that
ever make me nervous!
 
Does anyone else have any experiences/thoughts on using krylon paint?

grey usually indicates electrical, so try a electrical wholesaler, for black I have used the sprinkler supply stuff at home depot, or the new krylon paint can turn it all black.]]> Thu, 24 Aug 2006 18:38:40 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13792&PID=124658&title=local-grey-black-pvc-fittings-source#124658 <![CDATA[Local grey/black pvc fittings source : Does anyone know of a source in...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13792&PID=124603&title=local-grey-black-pvc-fittings-source#124603 Author: Deep Pitt
