Thank you Ed, I'll look for the good paint. Do you think I'll be able
to get decent UV veiling with with multiple coats of a lighter color
on top of the primer to avoid a dark color? Or would a primer+darker
color+primer+lighter color be better in that the outside of my home is
painted off-white and the pipes would look funky if they weren't a
close match.


I'm lost in all of this conversation. Where the hell is pvc pipe, used
for water, above ground?
I have a couple of grey electrical conduit pipes exposed for about 16"
before they go into the ground, but no water pipes, pvc or otherwise.
