How to paint a pipe?

It is best to paint with a short-haired roller. By no means foam rubber! When painting, be sure to use a bath and wring out the roller. The roller should be semi-dry so that drips do not form. It is best to apply two coats of paint. If you have a spray gun and the skills to work with it, the painting will accelerate, and the surface will take on a more attractive appearance!

A sanded and shiny profile needs to be removed from the fat. This is done with a rag and a regular degreaser: that's what it's called. There is a small life hack here - do not spare liquids. The degreaser not only neutralizes oils and fats on the metal, but also washes away rust dust that has eaten into the metal surface after sanding.

I had an extremely acute question after the house was sheathed with siding. The gap between it and the gas pipe that runs along the facade tends to zero. The first year after the renovation had to suffer. Then I learned how to easily and quickly cope with this task. I'm sure my experience will be useful to someone else.

Means of mechanization are useless in such conditions. With a hand tool, too, you will not go too far (it is easy to pierce the siding with a metal brush or a spatula). In fact, of all the possible options, only one remains - to sand the pipe with sandpaper. But everything is not as simple as it might seem.

Many people don't know if polypropylene pipes can be painted. According to the builders, this can be done, but first you need to choose the right paint.

When choosing a coloring composition, you need to consider some rules:

The color of the enamel must be chosen depending on the design of the room in which the pipeline is located. For the bedroom, it is better to choose a shade that matches the wallpaper or curtains. This way the pipe will not stand out. For a children's room, you can choose bright colors, come up with something original.
Do not use paint for other materials that may have remained after performing any work. Such coloring compositions will come off or fade after a while.

The paint for polypropylene pipes has special properties that allow it to retain its color, adhere to plastic pipes for a long time without deformation or tarnishing. Types of paints:
