I have a few copper pipes that are exposed - meaning they run along the

I don't like the copper and messy soldering look, and wonder if I can paint
it so it looks distressed and aged a bit, is it possible to paint copper
pipes and fittings? *especially with one pipe that can be hot?

If so do I need special paint and do I need to prime it? *What can I do to

Thanks,

Yes you can paint the copper. I have in several situations.

If your clean it (remove any residual flux & accumulated dirt) & prime
it & paint with latex (color to "match" block wall?)

it will last a long time, have installations that are 20+ years that
are just fine.
