Default PVC water pipe for electrical conduit

One of my neighbors noticed the 50 Amp circuit for his spa was in PVC
water pipe. I know PVC pipe can break down in sun light but this stuff
is coated with about 4 layers of house paint. Even though it is
exposed directly to southern exposure for nearly its entire 20 ft
length, given it is about 10 years old and hasnt had a problem I dont
think degradation due to UV exposure should be something to worry
about. Is there any other reason this should be replaced. It shouldnt
be a problem to replace, the biggest objextion is that its going to
mess up paint that is about two years old with some fading.
