    What kind of brush do I use to paint PVC pipe?
    Community Answer
    I personally recommend spraying your PVC if possible, but if you can't, a foam brush works best in my experience.

  • Question
    Why would I use latex-based paints if the aerosol ones are the ones that are based in enamel?
    Community Answer
    Any spray paint is fine. Most spray paint is oil-based enamel. Sand the PVC lightly, clean, primer and paint.

    Other than the grey color, PVC conduit is still PVC, and should be painted the same way.
