Have just fitted a new sink and have replaced the waste pipe. It's the usual
white plastic stuff. The problem is that the rest of the outside pipework is
black. Can I paint this plastic pipe? If so any particular type of paint to
use or avoid?

Thanks in advance

Yes.

I clean and lightly sand the pipe first, then I use oil-based gloss
paint. It seems to adhere especially well to the pipe material and
lasts for years.

I'm sure others will have differing ideas ...

Oil based - without any undercoat - seems to work pretty well.
